Can the commons be temporary?

  • Christchurch, New Zealand
    June 2015 • ISSUE 7 77 ISSUE 7 • June 2015 city focus Christchurch, New Zealand n Christchurch, progressive I partnerships have been formed to tackle the massive task of rebuilding the city after an earthquake struck in 2011. Some involved community volunteers, who not only helped to clean the streets and feed its residents but also instilled a sense of hope. New partnerships between the government and private sector were also forged in order to cut through red tape and expedite rebuilding efforts. Four years on, while Christchurch is still very much a city under construction, many lessons can be learnt from them. Not just in the way cities can become more resilient, but also how cities may look and function in the future. 01 79 city focus On 22 February 2011, an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale hit Christchurch, New Zealand’s third most populous city of around 340,000 people. The Central Business District (CBD) was just 10 kilometres from the epicentre of the earthquake and as a result, about 80 per cent of the buildings were reduced to rubble. 185 people lost their lives and a further 11,000 were injured that day. An estimated 10,000 suburban homes were either destroyed or irreparably damaged. Another 10,000 residential homes needed extensive structural work, and 150,000 needed repairs. The overall cost of rebuilding Christchurch was estimated at NZ$40 billion – approximately 10 per cent of New Zealand’s GDP. In the face of such devastation, the residents of Christchurch would have been forgiven for giving into despair.

  • THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association Proceedings of the Rhise Group Symposium, Friday 22 November 2013 After the catastrophic earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, on 22 February 2011, the Rhise Group (researching the health implications of seismic events) was formed by Professor Michael Ardagh. The main objective of the group was to facilitate understanding of the health impacts of the Christchurch earthquakes and, specifically, to enable collaboration and sharing of resources where appropriate. This has been achieved through the occasional forum and a shared website, able to be accessed by the 219 members of the group. In addition, the group encouraged a dedicated funding round for earthquake research from the Health Research Council of New Zealand and the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation. This symposium is the most significant event hosted by the Rhise Group to date and allows the recipients of that funding round, and other researchers from within the Rhise Group, to present the current state of their research. Thanks go to the Emergency Care Foundation, Lane Neave Lawyers, University of Otago, Christchurch, Canterbury District Health Board, Canterbury Medical Research Foundation, and Emergency Care Co-ordinations Teams for sponsoring the symposium. Within the wider, loose collaborative of researchers making up the Rhise Group is a small ‘working group’ based in the Emergency Department of Christchurch Hospital, and the University of Otago, Christchurch. The working group coordinates the activities of the Rhise Group and includes Professor Ardagh, Dr Joanne Deely, Ms Alieke Dierckx, Dr Sandra Richardson and Dr Martin Than. Particular thanks go to Dr Deely and Ms Dierckx for putting this symposium together and Dr Deely and Professor Ardagh for editing the proceedings.

  • Heritage and Participation: a Case Study of Advocacy in Post- Earthquake Christchurch
    Heritage and Participation: a case study of advocacy in post- earthquake Christchurch Rebecca Margaret Halliday Ford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Museum and Heritage Studies Victoria University of Wellington June 2018 Abstract This dissertation explores the advocacy for the Christchurch Town Hall that occurred in 2012-2015 after the Canterbury Earthquakes. It frames this advocacy as an instance of collective-action community participation in a heritage decision, and explores the types of heritage values it expressed, particularly social values. The analysis contextualises the advocacy in post-quake Christchurch, and considers its relationship with other developments in local politics, heritage advocacy, and urban activism. In doing so, this dissertation considers how collective action operates as a form of public participation, and the practical implications for understanding and recognising social value. This research draws on studies of practices that underpin social value recognition in formal heritage management. Social value is held by communities outside institutions. Engaging with communities enables institutions to explore the values of specific places, and to realise the potential of activating local connections with heritage places. Such projects can be seen as participatory practices. However, these processes require skills and resources, and may not be appropriate for all places, communities and institutions. However, literature has under- studied collective action as a form of community participation in heritage management. All participation processes have nuances of communities, processes, and context, and this dissertation analyses these in one case. The research specifically asked what heritage values (especially social values) were expressed through collective action, what the relationship was with the participation processes, communities, and wider situation that produced them, and the impact on institutional rhetoric and decisions.
