10X10X10 Christchurch
October 17, 2021
In the immediate aftermath of the 2011 earthquakes we initiated a conversation with ten Canterbury leaders to assess the challenges confronting us in the present, and to explore the shape and character of Christchurch in the future. In this 10-year anniversary edition - 10x10x10 - we reflect on Ōtautahi and its people as we mark a decade since 2011.
Our city is perfectly poised for the next decade; new opportunities (and new thinking) currently in evidence will contribute to a reimagined and much enhanced central city for the future.
Richard McGowan, Principal, Warren and Mahoney
Christchurch City is renewed and repairing, there is a palpable sense of energy, optimism and pride in our collective purpose. In these ten conversations we discuss how far we have come, what yet remains to consider, and an emerging, exciting future for the city.
The experience developed and opportunities created by the regeneration of Christchurch are globally relevant as we seek to create more resilient and people-focused cities. 10x10x10 provides rich and personal insight into this lived experience.
