The Heart of Our City
 The success of Christchurch City is intrinsically linked to a vibrant and prosperous Central City. In 2001, the Council committed itself to the revitalisation of the heart of our community through the adoption of the Central City Revitalisation Strategy.
At the core of this strategy was the vision that our Central City would be a dynamic, safe, and sustainable place that was home to a strong economy, environment, culture and society; essentially the crystallization of what we believe Christchurch is and ought to be.
In 2006, the Council updated its revitalisation programme to identify where we need to go and recommit ourselves to the work that needs to be done to attain this vision for our City.
Our Vision for the Central City
"A vibrant, fun, exciting, safe and sustainable heart of Christchurch. A heart whose economy, environment, culture and society are healthy and strong."
Stage II of the Central City Revitalisation Project builds on the foundation established in 2001 and endeavours to guide the next phase of the revitalisation efforts. Specifically, the Christchurch City Council seeks to:
- Increase the residential population
- Grow the business and commercial sector
- Enhance vital public spaces
- Redevelop underutilised sites
- Improve the transport network
By committing to the implementation of the policies and programmes set out in the Central City Revitalisation Strategy, the Christchurch City Council continues to take the bold steps needed to build a city and community that are the pride of New Zealand and the envy of the world.
