Regenerate Christchurch have released a the long-awaited plan intended to fix Christchurch City's heart.

The new plan for the city's Cathedral Square will see a mix of green and paved surfaces to create a strong city heart and encourage events. Its execution is intended to be phased, rolled out in stages as building projects around the square were completed.

As suggested in a draft concept released last year, the redesigned square would have three main spaces, each with their own character – a green zone with trees and water southeast of Christ Church Cathedral, a youth-friendly meeting space by the new library, and a large event and meeting space on the western side.

Were you aware of the plans? What do you think about them? Do you like the designs? Is there anything missing?
