The Chch CBD plan
The proposed plan is here. It looks pretty damn good to me. The key projects are:
- A green space around the Avon River
- The square, with more green areas
- A retail precinct
- A convention centre that can hold 2,000 people at once
- Health, justice and arts precincts
- An earthquake memorial
- A cultural centre
- A metro sports facility
- An enclosed sports stadium
- A centralised bus interchange
As I blogged previously, the city centre was somewhat dying even before the earthquake. This plan, if accepted and affordable, looks to make central Christchurch a great place to work, live and play.
