It is the sixth most populous urban area in the country, with {{NZ population data|Napier-Hastings|y}} residents, just slightly fewer than Tauranga ({{NZ population data|Tauranga|y}}) and more than Dunedin ({{NZ population data|Dunedin|y}}). While the two cities remain separated by {{convert|9|km|abbr=on}} of rural land from city edge to edge (20 km from one city centre to the next), there is sufficient economic and social integration between the cities that Statistics New Zealand considers them as a single unit. However, like the urban areas of Auckland, Hamilton and Wellington, the Napier-Hastings urban area is subdivided into urban zones. The urban area contains around three-quarters of the population of the entire Hawke's Bay. If Hastings and Napier were to amalgamate they would become the sixth most populous city in New Zealand following Tauranga. The Statistical Standard of Geographic Areas 2018, developed by Statistics New Zealand, will see the Napier-Hastings abolished as a statistical urban area. It will be replaced with four separate urban areas: Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, and Clive.[1] Geography{{Geographic Location|title = Neighbouring cities, towns and places. |Northwest = Taupo |North = Wairoa and Lake Waikaremoana |West = Taihape and Tongariro National Park |Centre = Napier/Hastings |Southeast = Waimarama |South = Waipukurau }} Suburbs{{columns-list|colwidth=22em|Napier CBD
}} SeismicityHawke's Bay is one of the most seismically active regions in New Zealand, and as so Napier-Hastings has experienced many large and often damaging earthquakes in the past. More than 50 damaging earthquakes have rocked the area since the European colonisation in the 1800s. Some of the more notable are listed below. {{see also|List of earthquakes in New Zealand}}
EducationNapier-Hastings offers a variety of colleges and tertiary studies for students. The Eastern Institute of Technology, commonly abbreviated to EIT or EIT HB is located along the banks of the Tutaekuri River and offers many different courses for students both in and out of the region. EIT serves as the main regional tertiary education centre for both Hawke's Bay and Gisborne regions. There are 3 campuses: Hawke's Bay, Auckland and Gisborne. Secondary Schools are as follows:
Urban ZonesFor more information, see Napier, New Zealand and Hastings, New Zealand respectively. Napier Urban ZoneNapier Urban Zone includes Napier and two tracts of rural land from Hastings District: Bay View to the north and Waiohiki to the south. It also includes the township of Taradale. Napier hosts the region's only port (the majority of export coming from Hastings' industry and food processing), the region's domestic airport, High Court, the local polytechnic college, and the Hawkes Bay Regional Council headquarters. Napier on its own is the 10th largest urban area in New Zealand. Hastings Urban ZoneHastings Urban Zone lies within the Hastings District and includes Havelock North and Flaxmere. The Hastings District Council consists of almost half of the total population of Hawke's Bay, with 74,000 people. The main urban zone of Hastings contains around 68,000 people. Hastings hosts the regional Hospital, Hawke's Bay Hospital, along with the regional showgrounds, racecourse, newspaper print, sports park and Waterpark. Hastings on its own is the 8th largest urban area in New Zealand. {{Coord|39|35|S|176|51|E|display=title}}AmalgamationAmalgamation is an ongoing debate for Napier and Hastings residents. Both cities have previously had smaller amalgamations (Napier absorbed Taradale, Hastings absorbed Havelock North in the local government reforms of 1989). There was a referendum on forming a joint Hastings and Napier in 1999, which resulted in 75% 'no' vote from Napier residents, and a 64% 'yes' vote from Hastings residents. Many say the referendum was called too early and many Napier residents were still bitter about the closing of Napier Hospital in 1998 and making Hastings Hospital the only public hospital in the region. A proposal in 2015 was for the new council to also absorb the Wairoa and Central Hawkes Bay councils to make a super regional council of 150,000 people.[2] This amalgamation referendum was held in September 2015, the majority of voters (~66%) rejected the proposal in favour of the status quo.[3] Part of recognition of New Zealand's sixth largest population centre is being labelled that way. Many residents have bought forth renaming the city to reflect this to the rest of the nation instead of referring to the cities by their current separate names. Names proposed include:
