  • Christchurch – Report Dreaming a New City
    24 February 27, 2015 / The National Business Review Special Christchurch – Report Dreaming A New City Canterbury’s earthquakes help shape the nation Chris Hutching The fourth anniversary of Christchurch’s earthquake is more than a local event. It has shaped the nation – from the initial wave of emotional and financial support from Kiwis in every town and city, to the explosion of job opportunities, revaluation of property, reshaping of insurance, and rebuilding by corporations. Residents are still coping with the momentous events of February 22, 2011. Designs for a permanent memorial to the 185 people who were killed are being evaluated. Like much else about the government-controlled elements of the rebuild it’s taking a long time, with the memorial construction expected perhaps by 2016. Most of those who died were busy at their desks doing what they were sup- posed to be doing, supporting their families, getting ahead on education cours- es, shopping, clinching financial deals, travelling on a bus, or crushed by rocks falling from a cliff. It was shocking to see injured and distressed people, and heartening to wit- ness heroism of ordinary people. The immediate aftermath was a bit like camping. The novelty wore off after days without running water, showers, loos, electricity. Neighbours worked together to clear the mountains of liquefaction silt, helped by farmers who brought tractors and trucks to town. Things slowly improved although the 14,000 shakes took another year to settle down, with the last two biggest ones in June and December 2011. Four years later, homeowners continue to battle EQC and insurers.
