A research institute is warning the super city could prevent Auckland from reaching its full potential.

AUT's Institute of Public Policy says the purpose of the super city is better regional governance and shared decision-making.

Director David Wilson says the debate about Council Controlled Organisations and the structure of the new city is a distraction from what is needed.

He says it is going to be very difficult to address some of the pressing needs in Auckland, especially around economic development.

Wilson says he is not just talking about large developments at the waterfront, but about real people and real incomes.
