Videos from the
TedXEQChch conference, which Grant and Julian attended, are now available. Held in Chch (May 21st, 2011) it was an amazing event, filled with 700+ proud, optimistic citizens who are all keen to get on with this massive task of rebuilding our city.
Grant presented on "the economic cost of being boring" which went down very well.
Watch it here and search YouTube for the others.
Some great summaries here and here.
Check out the latest update post, a more detailed example of the EGC concept on one block.
The great response continues, thank you everyone who has visited and contributed so far. Please keep them coming and get involved with fleshing out some more detail on how we might bring the Elevated City to life.
We have just released a first cut FAQ section to the site, attempting to start summarising the key points of discussion around the elevated garden city concept.
Check out the concept video (now in HD) and we welcome other visualisations of the concept.
We are impressed with the attention we have gained from the Press and also on ReimagineChristchurch, be sure to add your support for the concept over there.
