Steve Matthewman: Auckland University sociologist suggests missed opportunity in Christchurch rebuild

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

A suggestion of missed opportunities in the Christchurch rebuild. It's 11 years today since the major quake that claimed 185 lives. Auckland University sociologist Steve Matthewman told Kate Hawkesby the city could have been what residents wanted it to be - but central government took over the recovery process. But he says it's still heading in the right direction. “I think the real resource for hope is the former residential red zone, it’s absolutely massive, it's three times the size of one of Europe’s biggest urban greening projects just outside Vienna.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
