What makes a city, a city?

In 'The Villa at the Edge of The Empire', author Fiona Farrell explores the essence of cityhood and community with a particular focus on Christchurch. From its founding, to its post-quake devastation, and ongoing rebuild, she gives a personal and provocative take on the place she calls home. Fiona Farrell will also address fundamental questions like how cities are imagined and reimagined, as part of the Christchurch Arts Festival's Shifting Points of View talks.
