Planning our new City

On Wednesday Lavender's Dad, Dr Shane Turner, came to talk to us about his role in planning our new city. Shane is a transport engineer and has an important role in planning the future traffic routes etc for the centre of Christchurch. He told us about the new speed zones to be introduced, the addition of more walk ways and cycle routes and the exciting new tram or light rail that may be introduced linking the city and the university.
It was really interesting to hear about and see the maps for what Christchurch may look like in 5, 10 and even 20 years time. I wonder which members of Room 22 will be living and working in the city centre one day?
