Christchurch Changing

Sinopse

This lively survey tells the story of a major New Zealand city, the capital of Canterbury province and the South Island's largest metropolitan centre. Why was a city established in the middle of a swamp? What was it like to live in Christchurch during the 1850s, the 1870s or the 1940s? What has changed, what has disappeared, and what has survived from the past?
