Urban Development of Christchurch: September 30th, 2022

A major research project has recently concluded, investigating the urban transformation of Ōutautahi Christchurch.

Made with the support of arts organisation  Life in Vacant Spaces, the project has reflected on the arts events and creative spaces that were formed at the outset of the earthquakes. 

The research also detailed the positive mental health affects of the installations and events, as well as some positive ecological impacts. 

Liam spoke to Massey University research fellow and lead researcher Kelly Dombroski, first asking her to run through the research titled Huritanga: ten years of transformational place-making.
