The New Zealand Herald has hit the streets of Christchurch with a special edition of the newspaper.<\/p>\n
The 48-page special Monday edition was printed in Auckland in the early hours of this morning and sent down to Christchurch on one of the first flights out.<\/p>\n
It arrived at Christchurch airport and was transported by an NZ Post heavy truck to NZME offices before it was given out at Riverside, Cashel Street Mall and Christchurch Airport.<\/p>\n
Today the Herald and NZME launched a major editorial project on the future of Christchurch.<\/p>\n
It will debate how the city can best accommodate its growing number of residents and explore whether an amalgamation of councils to create an integrated super city is the right option.<\/p>\n
We will examine the issues facing the city, profile the people who make Christchurch tick, give a voice to the region's diverse communities and help voters to choose their future in this year's local body elections.<\/p>\n
Today's front cover features red and black livery and the headline 'It's a gamechanger' with an exclusive interview with All Black great Richie McCaw.<\/p>\n
McCaw said the latest design for the venue, which has been beset by delays and cost increases was \"pretty amazing\".<\/p>\n
'To take the conditions of the weather out of it... will be a game-changer, especially in the middle of the winter,\" McCaw said.<\/p>\n
Inside the special Christchurch edition were a series of articles, images, and graphics on Christchurch's future.<\/p>\n
