Christchurch Shipping Container Mall

This is an oldie but a goodie. Amazing what those Kiwi's can do.

After Christchurch was struck by an unprecedented and devastating series of Earthquakes in 2010/2011, the entire City Centre was cordoned off to the public for nearly one year and remains still to this day. ReStart is a unique and vibrant retail development constructed entirely from shipping containers, the first post-earthquake development in and around the CBD. This unique, challenging and unorthodox project was constructed and in only 8 weeks by Leighs Construction. This short documentary goes behind the scenes and looks at some of the wider ramifications this project may have going forward for Christchurch.
