Hi neighbours,

Is the solution to Auckland's traffic problem in our pockets? Our National Correspondent has been investigating how the movements of your smartphone are being tracked, collected and sold to government agencies. To read more about this, click here.

The location data Google and Spark collect from our smartphones is being studied to try and solve Auckland's biggest transport problems.

For example, some data is being used to help monitor the performance of new state highway infrastructure or upgrades, including measuring travel times through the Waterview Tunnel.

What are your thoughts on this? Were you aware of it? Do you think a solution to your city's roads can be found in the data? Let us know in the replies!

Housing New Zealand

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

Fast-forward 80 years, and Housing New Zealand is still building high-quality, state-of-the-art homes that are winning awards and setting a new standard for state housing.

Take a journey through the evolution of the state house, from its humble beginnings to the warm, healthy, modern homes we’re building today.
