Dunedin

"Dunedin (tepoti en maorí) es una ciudad de Nueva Zelanda situada en la bahía de Otago (Otago Harbour), un entrante del océano Pacífico que separa a la ciudad de la península de Otago. La ciudad se fundó en 1848, y después de 1861 creció rápidamente por el descubrimiento de oro. Las industrias principales de Dunedin, antaño núcleo ferroviario, son la ingeniería, la ingeniería del software, la biotecnología y la moda. En los alrededores de la ciudad se cría ganado ovino y vacuno. Otago es también un notable centro del ecoturismo, gracias a la diversidad biológica de la península de Otago. Cuenta con el célebre estadio de rugby (Carisbrook), donde se disputan entre otros, algunos partidos del tri nations, campeonato triangular anual que disputan el equipo de los All Blacks, los Wallabies australianos y los Sprinboks sudafricanos. En Dunedin está ubicada la Universidad de Otago, que tiene facultades de arte y música, derecho, medicina y teología, y de la Escuela Politécnica de Otago. Su población actual es de 121.000 habitantes y es la segunda ciudad en importancia de la isla del sur, luego de Christchurch."

"Dunedin (/dnidn/ dun-EE-din; Mori: tepoti) is the second-largest city in the South Island of New Zealand, and the principal city of the Otago region. It is named for the capital of Scotland, generally Anglicised as Edinburgh (with burgh being a literal translation of the Gaelic dun, meaning fort; although dun is also the source of the English word town). While Tauranga, Napier-Hastings and Hamilton have eclipsed the city in size of population since the 1980s to make it only the seventh-largest urban area in New Zealand, Dunedin is still considered one of the four main cities of New Zealand for historic, cultural and geographic reasons. Dunedin was the largest New Zealand city by territorial land area until superseded by Auckland on the creation of the Auckland Council in November 2010. Dunedin was the largest city in New Zealand by population from the 1860s until about 1900. The city population at 5 March 2013 was 120,246. The Dunedin urban area lies on the central-eastern coast of Otago, surrounding the head of Otago Harbour. The harbour and hills around Dunedin represent the remnants of an extinct volcano. The city suburbs extend out into the surrounding valleys and hills, onto the isthmus of the Otago Peninsula, and along the shores of the Otago Harbour and the Pacific Ocean. The city's most important activity in economic terms centres around tertiary education Dunedin is home to the University of Otago, New Zealand's first university (established 1869), and the Otago Polytechnic. Students account for a large proportion of the population; 21.6 percent of the city's population was aged between 15 and 24 at the 2006 census, compared to the New Zealand average of 14.2 percent. In 2014 Dunedin was designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Literature."
