A LANDSCAPE-BASED PROPOSAL An earthquake is an issue deeply rooted in our land and therefore must be addressed from a land-based perspective.

The demolition of buildings along underlying moist soils and old streambeds reveals new opportunities to create areas of amenity, and re-structure out city around these valuable open spaces.

This proposal for a resurrected Christchurch will focus on the importance of a well-integrated and developed open space network within the urban matrix. This proposal creates a strong green open space corridor along the Avon River, along with a network of smaller open spaces and stumble parks connected by green lanes and three main community greenways. The residential areas will be focused around amenities such as schools or major transit nodes.
