Having lived in big cities overseas I think the centre of christchurch needs a lot more people living it
I am talking 100,000 people within the four avenues. It can be a pick of housing. There are already a number of new two & three story developments on once section eg down salisbury street.
These have off street parking & 2 or 3 bedrooms
I would love to see new developments that have retail on the ground floor ( cafe, shops etc ) & people living above. These can be from 2 to 5 floor developments
An important things is to get away from street level developments that have nothing in them eg they have been blacked out to be used as office space - we need lots of people out & about.
I think the first place to concentrate on this is manchester street from moorhouse all the way to the river
