Christchurch rebuild

Have a look at the video of Bob Parker talking about the plans for rebuilding Christchurch:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/videos

What do you like about the plans?
What don't you like about them?
Do you think it is possible (in terms of money and time) to rebuild it this way?
Do you have any of your own ideas that were not included in the plans?

dont quite understand video but i will say what i picked up.

so i picked up the part about parks i really like that idea asfore it gives the animals some room to run around.making the city feel like more of a community small shopping centre not going to happen remind me how many people live in chch.(not that much due to the earthquake but i think we do need a big supermarket.


as i said i dont like the fact about small shopping centres my secound home(the mall) will be a park go outta here shopping is my life and if they take that away from me ill be bored.but i think everything else is okay....

i think it is possibe as long as we stretch the time between a thew years.money should be fine as we have had alot of sponsers.

i do have a couple ideas one that we have a massive chocolate factory another massive mall animal centres for animals that owners died in quakes and finally a new swimming centre.

I like that all the buildings will be low rise so there won't be as much damage IF we have another earthquake but if that happens the city might expand because they can't fit as many offices in the building because th roof would be where more offices should have been.I also like that the city will be "Clean green" and what bob parker said "a city inside a garden.
I don't think I dislike any of the plans
I don't think they can get everything done I think that it would cost to much and take to much time because even if they physicly rebuild the city I don't think that it would have the happy atmosphere that(to me) the plans look like.
No but I hope they make all of the buildings out of wood because then they could bend and sway with the earth IF there is another one

Q1 i think the plans are nice and very environmentily friendly.

Q2 I like that there was that swimmiing center.

Q3to be honest i dont think they will do what they say they would could anyone can say im gonna do this and that and where will they get the money from and the time they said it will take to rebuild they said on the news it will take 20years so when i am thirty one it will be rebuilt so no i dont think they can rebuild it.

Q4no i dont have any of ideas i could think about .

well the buildings being low is sort of a good thing and sort of a bad thing because there might be another big after shock or earthquake so there won't be as much damage i also like the city being green

the bad thing about low buildings is we won't find the enough space to put all the buildings but thats about it

YES obviously get a money maker dah

rebuild the cathedral except bigger

hey ben that joke is so funny NOT
it wont let me watch the video so i am going to have to guess for the answers
Q1)i have seen then on the news before i think they look great i like the avon head or avon side river plann it looks amazing
Q2)nothing they all look cool
Q3)yes i do but it might take up to as long as 10 yrs but i dont mind at least it will look better than it is now and the money it will cost them BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of money but at least they are fixing it all
Q4)not really but i do agree with alex and for mikeys 1 there could be a few problems with that idea which are well i only have 1 that the wood could rot but apart from that that is a very good idea
p.s with Q1 i like it how all the buildings are only allowed to be 2 storys high except the cathedral and also i dont know what they would do to my dads building because it is 7 storys high so yeah
