I can't believe how useful this iPhone application is.  Anywhere in NZ I can take a photo of the street problem (car on path, overhanging trees), write a description the phone uses GPS to tell where I am.  Press REPORT and it will send it to the council in charge of that area.  And it works well.

A must use for any walking advocate

Greening the Rubble - Christchurch

Posted in

The Greening the Rubble project, will be run under the umbrella of Living Streets Aotearoa with grant support from Christchurch City Council. It forms part of a wider initiative to find temporary uses for empty sites across Christchurch, following the damage caused by the Canterbury earthquake on 4 September 2010; collectively known as Make-SHIFT. 

Rhys Taylor from Living Streets Aotearoa describes Make-SHIFT as “an exciting project to help put some fun and a visual welcome back into the inner city, through temporary public use of vacant spaces.
