- Dutch tourist's films from 2009 and 2013 combined. Christchurch and New Zealand deserve support from their allies, Europe, United Kingdom and the USA. As your men fought for us we have to fight for you. Rebuild with extra garden and less tarmac please!!
Thankyou for compiling these videos...don't want to be insenstive, but thank god we lost the green BNZ building on the cnr of Colombo and Hereford - it was pulled down well after the shakes.
That was hard to watch. I went back recently and its nice to see it slowly coming alive again esp along Oxford Terrace. Long live Christchurch
I will never stop missing my beautiful city as it was before😭😭.....but for any non Cantabs ...it is still and will always be The Garden City❤️
Edit: perfect choice with Dire Straits there....I'm so emotional!!!!
Very good. I was in NZ in 1997 with a brand new digital video camera, filming everything that moved (as you did), and I went up the Cathedral tower whilst my wife sat in the square. I’ve searched all my footage but can’t find any from up the tower, and I’m sure I would have filmed it. Can’t find any.
So I’m very grateful you managed to preserve it 😮
Updates on this year's situation in Christchurch can be seen on googlemaps
Excellent video, you show the life and happiness, vibrancy of 2009 and now the somnabulistic death throes of 2013. Although its changing now, most of the fences are gone and new buildings are going up. The Cathedral should be sorted out in a few months.
Sadly, thanks to the heritage trust it won't be sorted for the next few decades now.
What a beautiful restoration. Great and awesome job. May the Lord God be glorified that this building is still standing! Amen

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
It would be good to show the progress made in the last 8 years.
it's been 9 years now. any chance of a where is chch now. kiwis are very resilient
Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen Christchurch in person, since before the 2011 quake. So sad!
There is varied and interesting architecture now, probably more so than before the quakes. But opportunities have been missed to improve the transport infrastructure, and ridiculous decision-making regarding the cathedral.
Great to have this record of the pre-earthquake city. Was really vibrant back in the day. Gone forever unfortunately :( Bit of bad timing with the much bigger, more devastating Japan EQ though 2.5 weeks later. As after that it pretty much disappeared off the International news cycle.
, have any questions please 😍😎😀😄😃🤩😘😍😎👌👌💗💖💖❤️❤️❤️❤️💓💓💘💋💞💗💖💖💕💕💓💓❤️❤️💘💋💕💕💓💓❤️❤️ Darren Donn-walker Dad
It would be great if you could do an update on this video as there has been so much change, much of it positive.
To do that I first would have to book a flight/holiday to New Zealand, because I live in the Netherlands... Would like to go, but maybe I can't, also because I emphatically hate the covid-hysteria.
@@awake2awake2 fair enough. Our borders are fully open now anyway.
@@eddiehayes1523 But for how long??? For updates on Christchurch one can of course have a look at googlemaps...
@@awake2awake2 I live in Christchurch. Google Maps doesn't come close to showing all of it. Fair point though - I hadn't realised when I watched your video that you were a tourist.
Would be fantastic to overlay the current progress in the city

This video shows how the once vibrant and lively city center has died at the hands of the bureaucracy.
Govt control has held back the progress in the CBD so much that most bussiness has moved away to the outter city.
Thats actually wrong. My aunt and uncle are both on the council. Ones a town planner and the other a civil engineer. They took their time so they could plan out the city to be better than before. Often a city evolves over a very long time span making it a real mess to try and implement new technologies and ideas into. With Christchurch the slate was wiped clean and they were able to redesign a CBD to fit with today. It was nothing to do with bureaucracy, it was all to do with having the chance to redesign a city and wanting to do it right.
