I’m a Brit revisiting Christchurch after many years.
Although I was aware of the earthquake at the time I did not appreciate the number of buildings that were lost or had be demolished because they were deemed unsafe and the major impact this had on everyday life in your city.
In a way it reminds me of UK cities in the 1950s and 1960s after WW2. However then, UK architects and planners gave little thought to what was really needed a gave rise to the comment “Town Planners succeed where Hitler failed” and books such as “The Rape of Britain”
It is encouraging that care and thought is being given to development and keeping it on a human scale with a thought to communal spaces.
The Botanical Gardens which must surely be among the most beautiful in the world must have helped you realise how important that is.
Stay safe and well in your efforts to rebuild the city for generations to come.
Much love from UK (with our laughable series of Prime Ministers who do not have the interests of the country at heart)

I have such fond memories of the 'old' Christchurch, a New Year's Eve in Cathedral Square. I'm pleased to see the water feature outside City Hall is still operating!!
I pretty much grew up in Christchurch, was always down here on Holiday visiting grandparents, and to think how much the city has changed in the last 11 years is amazing
I now work an 1.5hrs south of central Christchurch, dont go into the city very often, but when ever i do, i am amazed by the small changes and new buildings going up , and the fact that it looks a little different evetime
Excellent documentation of the rebuild, really sad to see the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament go, that truly was an architectural wonder.
Still remember my first time going to Christchurch in November 2010. I remember the Catherdral and how incredible it was inside but I didn't go inside the tower sadly. I went back in mid 2018 the day they announced the rebuild and It's safe to say it looked a lot different to how it did all those years ago. Can't wait to go back again, Christchurch is my favourite city away from home.
Wow Christchurch looks amazing now! I've only been there 2 times - before and after the earthquake so seeing it now just blows me away how great it looks. I might be moving there too - this got me excited!
Wonderful to see how you've rebuilt! Wishing you all the best as you continue. Best regards from a Canadian cousin in central Africa!
Kudos to the people of CHCH & NZ for your resilience - much has changed over the years since my first visit in 1987, but I'm looking forward to returning now that the borders are open again!
Thanks for this update on how things are going up there. The last time I had occasion to be in the CBD of Christchurch was 2017. I did pass through Christchurch last December, while travelling to and from Nelson. I did get to drive on the new Southern and Northern Motorway extensions.
The only thing wrong with this video is the criminally low number of views. Only 20 at the time of writing. God only knows how much time and effort went into the making of this.
Anyway, thank you for this professional, informative, interesting, and visually stunning presentation.
Visited Christchurch in 97, and passed the Catholic Church on the way in. Was awestruck by that building and it’s dome but didn’t have my camera at the ready and didn’t pass it again. We continued and ended up in the square where I climbed the church tower. Gulp.
This city I’m sure is fondly remembered by millions of visitors. Still keep checking in to see how the rebuild is doing.
All the best NZ’ers.
I miss ChCh, was there on the day, working for a large construction firm. Our house in Rangiora thankfully survived. But I spent 2 years scoping damaged houses. Heartbreaking stuff, but Cantabs are a stoic bunch. ChCh looks great again now.
Sad day for us all isn't it but at least we made it through
Very interesting video, I visited NZ from the UK back in November 1997. Whilst I was in Christchurch I stayed in the Hotel Grand Chancellor and explored the city including going into the Cathedral. When the Quakes struck I was devastated for the city and it's great people. I've been keeping up to date with the developments since and it's made for very interesting viewing. Can't wait to return one day and see the remarkable changes in the flesh.
Incredible rebuild. Christ Church is close to my heart I have my uncle buried there. .
Good work Christchurch.....your aussie cousins are always with you kiwis.
I got some family there and they said how the city has modernised and become a little futuristic since the earthquake and that after it happened everything was well managed and rebuilding kicked off pretty quickly. I was there a few days ago and its really a nice place with lots to do and see and its defiantly a highlight when you visit New Zealand. This was my second time going there, the first time was in December 2010, 2 months before the earthquake with my family and I was 4 so I barley remember anything but I have seen photos and its almost like a different city when going back there. Now that I have new family there I feel like I have some connection to the city and it feels like a city that I should visit every few years to see them every now and then and one that I should always check on to see how it improves. I was there for 3 nights, then left for a small town and spend 3 nights there for my uncle's wedding who married someone from New Zealand which is why I called them new family and then came back to Christchurch for 1 more night. I left 2 days ago and it 100% won't be the last time I will visit this city. As it keeps improving and becoming more advanced I feel like they are almost forgetting about the earthquake, moving on and putting it behind them.
Hi there, thanks for the comment and glad you had a good time here.
Yeah the progress is taking its time and I guess when rebuilding a huge part of a city it will take time. Hopefully over the next 5 or so years all the little open areas will be filled up with something that will be good for the city.
We are definitely seeing more and more people come into the central city over the last couple of years which is great and will only continue over the years as more events come back as well as international tourist.
Hope to see you soon back in the Garden City.
Yeah absolutely, will definitely be back next year or 2 and many more times after that, this is only the beginning. Also not far from Melbourne where I'm from and live.
Great video as always mate!!! Let's hope that christchurch can get some more modern buildings in the CBD fingers crossed 🤞
@@inakibelton8911 Aye i know right.
10 years gone by so fast , wish I took videos myself when I was part of the clean up operation , thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching. Nevermind. It would've been amazing to look back on any videos you had taken from that time.
I was in shock when I came back after leaving in 2006 returning 15 years later.
Very informative and well put together.
Looking great! Thank you for sharing this as I was wondering how everything was going in Beautiful Christchurch. I would love to travel there one day and check out that part of the country.
Great video! Brings back a lot of memories of what has been lost, but also the amazing new places and spaces we have gained.
Yeah that is right and hopefully the city keeps building and becomes a place for people to enjoy.
Well done! Thank you for sharing my friend. Great Like 110
I wondered how much of the downtown was lost and was kind of shocked it was 70%. What a bizarre and inconceivable situation to have to cope with.
Very interesting. Subscribed to your channel!🥰
Thanks so much.
Make the "Red Zone" a permanent city park with trees and trails for people to walk and bike through all the way to the sea. Of course, it will be almost twice the size of New York City's Central Park, but it is not suitable for anything else. It will be a great feature and attraction for Christchurch with the punts cruising the Avon river running though it.
There is already enough walking/bike tracks around aswell as kids playgrounds...the city needs something different
where there is Progress, there is Hope.
❤ After such a catastrophic event in a site known to have unstable geology, it might have been a good idea to consider if this really is the best site for a major city? Carrying on as before may be heroic, but may not be wise.
Not much they can do now as you can't just move a city to a better site up the road a few hundred kilometers but I am sure they have done their research and put in limits to heights of buildings and made them more sturdy to be much better prepared for if another one comes.
To be honest, the new QEII (Or uh, QEIII) doesn't do much for me. I remember loving the old one so much, and the new one doesn't do that for me. It's why I'm looking more forward to the new one in the city centre, as it seems much more akin to the old QEII
Maybe now they can put the BNZ building in the correct spot !
So much concrete. So much parking. Maybe they will have another think post covid.
The city is always changing and in 5 years it will be the best city in NZ.
Where is that wizard every time I go there he's never there except that year in 1991
I think he has retired from his wizardry commitments now but you do seem him walking around every now and then with a couple of other younger wizards.
@@yeahnahproductions I saw him last month on a school trip
How come it's taking so long.
How long is supposed to take?
@@yeahnahproductions Few years or so I imagine.
I thought about 8-12 years to build it back up to pre quake equivalent for our size city and population.
Kobe in Japan took about 4 years to rebuild and another 6 to get back to pre quake but they have a huge population and billions and billions of dollars to throw at it.
I went to a few places in Japan last year that still have buildings to come down from their earthquake and tsunami.
It takes time
@@yeahnahproductions for that size of a city . a couple of years , still half way through 10 years later , what happened to the 11 billions dollars + given to Ch Ch RECONSTRUCTION in 2011 by the Goverment?
@@JamesSmith-ui2hv If every building was built at the same time then yeah a couple of years but that isn't how things work.
this is what happens when you build your city with fuckin plaster
If you build your houses with paper, no wonder they collapse. In Europe are buildings which are 1.000 years old and still stand.
Really that's what you get out of this? There have also been cities in Europe over that 1000years levelled by earthquake. The Great city of London was virtually razed to the ground because a small fire got out of control. San Francisco was devastated by an earthquake but was majorly rebuilt using NZ Kauri tree timber. My grandad saw his schoolfriend crushed by a beam during the 1931 Hawkebay earthquake the devastated Napier, Hastings, Taradale, Greenmeadows, west shore and more. Care for a trite comment about that? Tool!.
It was the stone and brick buildings that collapsed.
What an idiotic comment. Most of Europe is not seismically active, meaning no earthquakes wreck buildings in the ancient cities. However, Europeans have been very talented at having multiple wars over centuries, and those have certainly destroyed a goodly share of old structures.
Pre planned, " build back better", wef programme!! 6.3 magnitude , oh how they love the numbers 666 (6*3)
