Invitation to the launch of Once in a Lifetime: City-building after Disaster in Christchurch

On 30 July, 2012, Prime Minister John Key launched the Central City Recovery Plan - the Blueprint. Two years on, Freerange Press is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Once in a Lifetime: City-building after Disaster in Christchurch.

Once in Lifetime offers the first substantial critique of the Government’s recovery plan in Christchurch, presents alternative approaches to city-building and archives a vital and extraordinary time. It brings together a range of national and international voices in 55 written essays, and also presents 39 visual essays that document community, business and government responses to Christchurch’s recovery. It features a foreword by Helen Clark and contributions from journalists, economists, designers, academics, politicians, artists, publicans and more.

The book will be launched on 31 August, at WORD Christchurch Writers and Readers festival and we would love for you to join us.
