RÉSUMÉ DE LA CONFÉRENCE
The 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquakes caused significant damage, especially in the city of Christchurch. As a result, much of the infrastructure, vertical and horizontal, has been, and is being, replaced. This presentation provides a discussion of the following topics: systems, arrangements, and culture of Christchurch prior to the earthquakes; damage from the earthquakes; immediate response decisions; long term decisions; the face of the final rebuild, and lessons that can be learnt. Furthermore, the roles of different organisations in the recovery are discussed. Finally, some thoughts for improving a city are presented.
