I'll try to be there -
Actually there has been one death. An elderly lady was so traumatised by the quake that she suffered a fatal heart attack.

yeah i'd advise you spread out with some low density suburbs (and lots of them) in the neighbouring city tiles, which will hopefully boost the region population and start your sims crying out for high density somewhere in the region. Landmarks and parks in the city in which you wish to make the CBD will help too. If you mind me asking...what is your region pop and what is the pop of the city in which youwish to build the CBD?

I find that the safest way to expand a region is to make an entirely new region with the layout that you want and then import all the cities into the new region from the old one, rather than attempting to change the config map. Its time consuming if you have many cities but theres less risk involved if you are not so sure about what you are doing. You just have to be sure that you know which cities belong in which place so you import them to the correct location but even if you import them to the wrong location its still fixable.

For Auckland New Zealand I predict,... The population of Auckland to be around 2.5 million people (current projections are suggesting only 2 million so I am being a bit over). This population growth would have been fueled from immigration from Asia and the Pacific Islands as well as possibly other areas of the world that haven't traditionally been a source of new immigrants (Africa and latin America perhaps), making the city much more diverse than it is today. The Inner suburbs would see a major increase in density,though efforts would be made to retain the historic bay villa type houses in suburbs like Ponsonby, Grey Lynn and Parnell. Skyline of Downtown Auckland would be much taller. The Auckland Skytower (328m) would probably be in threat of losing its status as the tallest structure in the city. A subway underneath Queen Street or Albert Street would have been built, linking Britomart to the western Line near Mt Eden Rd. A light rail line lmay be built starting near Sylvia Park, heading East through to Botany Downs and the flatbush development and then onto Manukau City crossing with the main railway line at Wiri and then heading to the airport. Then possibly extend through Mangare and cross the Manukau Harbour to link up to the reopened Onehunga Branch line. The current North Shore Busway under construction along the Norther Motorway may hae been converted into light rail connecting to Britomart possibly through a second harbour crossing. A second harbour crossing will have been built, as either a tunnel or a second bridge. This crossing would either be near the location of the Present Auckland Harbour bridge or link Mechanics Bay to Devonport or Pt Chev to Birkenhead. The western Ring route (South Western Motorway and Upper Harbour Motorway) would have been completed providing an alternative motorway access to State Highway 1 through the city. Periodic discussions about the Eastern Corridor would still pop up but be rejected by the public. The North Western Motorway would be extended as far as Helensville. Northern Motorway would be extended as far as Warkworth and beyond. The Waikato expressway would have been long finished and probably extended passed Cambridge by this point ending near Rotorua, thus providing a four lane road between Auckland and Rotorua. The proposed Flatbush development would have long been completed and the city would be beginning to sprawl into the Clevedon and Maraetai areas. The Waikato expressway would encourage more people to live in smaller towns along the waikato River such as Huntly and Ngarawahia and commute to Auckland and Hamilton for work. Likewise, the Northern motorway extension will encourage more people to commute to Auckland from towns such as Warkworth and the Snells Beach area. Pukekohe would have become a much larger town due to its proximity to Auckland, and possibly become a part of the Auckland connurbation (though that is unlikely due to the importance of the agricultural areas surrounding the town and measures being introduced to halt Auckland's sprawl). The Hibiscus Coast and particularly Orewa will see many tall Residential skyscrapers spring up (at the moment there is only one in Orewa built about two years ago). Some sort of major arterial route will have been built linking the Whangaparora Penninusla to the Northern Motorway that bypasses Silverdale. The wharves west of the Viaduct basin (next to Westhaven Marina) will have ceased being used for Port functions and will have been extensively redeveloped along the same ways as the viaduct basin was in the 1990s.
