Description

The revised and extended edition of the second in the series of guides to New Zealand's urban architecture by the well-known team of writer John Walsh and photographer Patrick Reynolds. First published in 2020, this handy pocket-sized book suggests a series of city walks that take in both the historic buildings that survived the earthquakes and the striking new buildings that have risen from the rubble - 79 buildings in total. It's the perfect guide for visitors to Christchurch and also for locals who want to know more about their city.
