Report on the Rebuild of Christchurch's Central City
Bill McKay is just back from a look at how the Christchurch rebuild is going. He encountered a vibrant hospitality scene, and new housing, mostly two and three storey townhouses being built in town, but Bill asks is that enough?. He wonders if there should be a range of medium rise apartments, suitable for students or first homes through to 'adult contemporary'and empty nesters. Bill says there is a lot of the new commercial building developments, though many still seem to be waiting for tenants.
