Introduction
Cathedral Square is the heart of central Christchurch, anchored by the cathedral damaged in the 2011 earthquake. Since then the square has become a living room for rallies, art and markets; amid the pulse of rebuild, you still read the resilience and renewal of the 'Garden City'. Chess tables and street performers keep the rebuilding city warm with civic life.
