Build it for the people! Cars are not the answer. . .

Cantabs will get a chance to speak up about the future design direction of their post-earthquake city through an exhibition at Christchurch Art Gallery starting tomorrow. Architectural Ambassador Ian Athfield , who was appointed following the September quake, says it will inform professionals, councils and individuals, enabling them to reach the best conclusions for the community. Before After: Let’s Build a Better Canterbury focuses on environmental planning; urban design; heritage; residential options; and transport and infrastructure. Weekly panel discussions will also be held, in which public feedback will be sought.
