It’s time to send this message to
– Christchurch City Council

– the NZ Government:
We, the people of Canterbury, the people of New Zealand and our friends internationally, want you todeliver a well-planned, environmentally sustainable re-build of Christchurch.
While this is a time of devastating loss, it is also however one of opportunity: an opportunity to re-think the city, to gather local and international expertise in sustainable design and to re-develop Christchurch as a safe, prosperous, world-leading showcase for urban sustainability. It’s an opportunity to deliver energy- and water-efficient new buildings, seamlessly integrated transport systems and green spaces that are accessible, productive and bio-diverse – in short a world-leading example of the very best in modern city living, benefiting its citizens, strengthening its communities, nourishing its businesses and supporting its unique natural environment.
