Green City Overview Christchurch’s Central City has a network of established parks, historic squares, mature trees, ornamental gardens and a river which lends itself to being developed in a showcase green city. Proposed Project Start Dates: Central City greenway Eco streets Greening the roof District heating Green technologies Pocket parks Papawai Ōtakaro Latimer and Cranmer Squares Community gardens Family-friendly parks Greening Cathedral Square 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 and beyond The community recognises that greening the city is more than just adding more parks; it is also about building design, greenway networks and infrastructure. There is a strong desire to enhance Christchurch’s Garden City image to reflect a modern, healthy and resilient city. Thousands of people have requested a vibrant and active Central City that appeals to families and offers ease of travel, with more pedestrian friendly streets and safe cycle routes. The community would also like better access to fresh food markets, expressions of Christchurch’s rich culture through art and landscape and varying sizes of green space to accommodate a diversity of uses. In response, the Green City chapter contains projects that double the amount of pre-earthquake public open space in the Central City, creating new, healthy environments for the community to enjoy. A new greenway network with connections to sports facilities, community gardens, neighbourhood centres and local farmers’ markets will ensure green space is within a five-minute walk of Central City residents. The community also expressed the desire to reveal the Avon River/Ōtakaro and offer more opportunities for the public to enjoy the river. This flagship project will create a continuous sensory journey that draws people to its banks, offers active and passive recreation and celebrates the cultural landscape. The historic squares - Cathedral, Latimer and Cranmer - will be remodelled to create exciting spaces framed by complementary buildings and offering activities to attract a wide range of people, while also encouraging them to stay longer. The Council will create 10 to 12 new pocket parks in the compact core, adding vitality to many blocks by 2030. Streets will also be visibly greener with street trees and additional green features that will improve public spaces while helping to improve water quality by capturing run off from streets before reaching the river. Targets · Existing and new open spaces in the Central City are vibrant, popular and used · The amount of open space in the Central City (excluding Hagley Park) doubles and is within five minutes walk of residents and workers · The ecological and cultural health of Avon River/Ōtakaro is enhanced · The cultural values of Ngāi Tahu are recognised and celebrated in the Central City (see comment above) · Biodiversity in the Central City is enhanced, especially native birdlife and native vegetation · The Central City has increased access, connectivity and legibility for all users · Increased opportunities for active and passive activity on streets and in public spaces in the central city · The Central City attracts a wide range of people · People in the Central City are satisfied with its appearance · Every street in the Central City incorporates green infrastructure · People have access to fresh, locally grown food within the Central City 29 <strong>Draft</strong> Christchurch City Council Central City Plan
