How has Christchurch changed since the earthquake?
Hi-
I'm thinking of moving to Christchurch, New Zealand with my husband, he's been offered an engineering position as a consequence of the earthquake. In the same vein, I've been trying to find information about living and working in Christchurch, but everything seems to be written before the natural disaster. Can anyone give me an idea of how the city's changed since and what to expect NOW?

For sure, most info about moving to Christchurch will be outdated due to the earthquake.
The city was beautiful and vibrant pre-earthquake and its citizens are committed to rebuilding an even more amazing metropolis.
The largest changes are the facts that the CBD is inaccessible and the public transport system is kaput. Most businesses have moved to the suburbs and for expats moving to Christchurch it's essential to buy a car for the time being.
Otherwise, the economy has certainly slowed down, but if your husband already has a job offer this shouldn't be such a concern.
