Christchurch (Scenario: The World's Liferaft)

Christchurch is the second largest city in New Zealand and the largest city on the South Island. It's population is 785,000 and has been booming consistently for the past thirty years with affordable land prices and a architectural blank slate as a result of the previous earthquakes of the early 2010s attracting migrants. The main tourist attractions in Christchurch are Hagley Park, the Avon River Gondolas (earning Christchurch the nickname of "New Venice") and Cathedral Square with the rebuilt Christchurch Cathedrals spire being, by law, the tallest point in the city looking down on the Great War Museum and the arts district. The population of Christchurch is 47% European 35% Asian 11% Pasifika 5% Maori and 2% other. The current mayor is Kathleen Chow of the National Party who was elected in 2049
