Quake - one year on: Low rise vision for the future

Not much is certain in Christchurch these days. But one certainty is that in the coming years, the city will be radically different from what it was 18 months ago.

With so much of the central city wrecked by the recent earthquakes, the old English heritage is rapidly disappearing and leaving a blank canvas. The city council vision now is for a smaller, shorter and more green central business district.

Suburban Christchurch will also see drastic change, with some red-zoned riverside eastern suburbs like Bexley and Avonside virtually disappearing from the landscape.

Abandoned housing and commercial buildings are to be cleared from these suburbs where the land is considered too costly to repair, with only parks and grassland likely to be left in their place.

Although this immense change is bringing a sense of loss for many Christchurch people, it also presents huge opportunities. Many who have chosen to stay after the quakes cite as a reason the rare opportunity to be part of the creation of a new city.
