Christchurch City is currently in transition and people are engaged in visioning the future of this place. City planners and gardeners are integrating their backgrounds and assumptions with the new challenges that are raised by our waters, indigenous flora and wildlife, to provide new expressions of identity and heritage in our post-quake city. We are hoping that it might be possible for a member of the CCC Urban Design team to respond to Di’s talk prior to any questions from the floor.
