Listen "S2 E4 | Christchurch renewed"
Episode Synopsis
The story of post-quake Christchurch is the story of a place where citizens have had to make hard decisions about what a 21st-century city looks like… what to take or leave… and what to do with the residue of tragedy. What's resulted is a city in constant search of renewal: of its waterways, its built environment, and its history. In this episode, we'll be tracing the bends of the Avon/Ōtākaro, understanding how local music supported disaster recovery and seeing how this city is shedding its neo-Gothic architectural skin. Stay put for a bonus trip to Lyttelton, a stunning bohemian port town about a 20-minute drive from the centre of Christchurch. It's been responsible for nurturing the sound of musicians including Marlon Williams, Aldous Harding and Nadia Reid.
