On Saturday 4 September 2010, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Christchurch. Nearly six months later on Tuesday 22 February 2011, a second earthquake measuring magnitude 6.3 struck the city. It was located closer to the city at a depth of 5 km. Although lower on the magnitude than the previous earthquake, the intensity and violence of the ground shaking was among the strongest ever recorded globally in an urban area.
The total number of earthquakes in the Canterbury region above a magnitude 3.0 from 4 September 2010 to 3 September 2012, is 4423.

On Saturday 4 September 2010, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Christchurch and the central Canterbury region at 4:35 am. Located near Darfield, west of the city at a depth of 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), it caused widespread damage to the city and minor injuries, but no direct fatalities.
Nearly six months later on Tuesday 22 February 2011, a second earthquake measuring magnitude 6.3 struck the city at 12:51 pm. It was located closer to the city, near Lyttelton at a depth of 5 km (3 mi). Although lower on the moment magnitude scale than the previous earthquake, the intensity and violence of the ground shaking was measured to be IX (Violent), among the strongest ever recorded globally in an urban area and in total 185 people were killed. People from more than 20 countries were among the victims. The city's iconic ChristChurch Cathedral was severely damaged and lost its spire. The collapse of the CTV Building resulted in the majority of fatalities. Widespread damage across Christchurch resulted in loss of homes, major buildings and infrastructure. Significant liquefaction affected the eastern suburbs, and the total cost to insurers of rebuilding has been estimated at NZ$20–30 billion.
On 13 June 2011 Christchurch was hit by two more large aftershocks. A magnitude 5.6 quake at a depth of 9 km (6 mi) hit at 1:00 pm in the general location of Sumner, Christchurch. This was followed by another quake at magnitude 6.3 with a depth of 6 km (4 mi) at 2:20 pm again in the general location of Sumner, Christchurch. There were no fatalities though it resulted in further liquefaction and building damage.
There were further earthquakes on 23 December 2011; the first, of magnitude 5.8 according to the US Geological Survey, 26 km (16 mi) north-east of the city at a depth of 4.7 km (2.9 mi), at 13:58, followed by several aftershocks and another earthquake of magnitude 6.0 and similar location 80 minutes later, with more aftershocks expected. St John Ambulance reported after the two quakes that there were minor injuries at homes and businesses but no serious injuries and few indications of building collapses at the time.Christchurch Airport was briefly closed. There were power and water outages at New Brighton and severe damage to the Parklands region, including roads and footpaths.
Christchurch was again rattled awake on 2 January 2012; the first; a magnitude 5.1 struck at 01:27 followed five minutes later by a magnitude 4.2 aftershock; a second larger earthquake struck at 05:45 with a magnitude of 5.5. This caused power outages to the eastern suburbs of Parklands, New Brighton, Shirley, Dallington, Burwood, Spencerville and Richmond; this affected around 10,000 homes.
4,558 earthquakes were recorded in the Canterbury region above a magnitude 3.0, from 4 September 2010 to 3 September 2014.

Following the earthquakes over 1500 buildings in the city had been demolished or partly demolished by September 2013.
The city has been experiencing rapid growth following the earthquakes, with the central city rebuild, which is outlined in the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan, starting to ramp up, and massive growth in the residential sector, with around 50,000 new houses expected to be constructed in the Greater Christchurch area by 2028, as outlined in the Land Use Recovery Plan (LURP).

New Zealand: Historic Trams in Christchurch
Restored trams from some of New Zealand's long lost public transport systems.
Trams can be found in two locations in Christchurch – the Ferrymead Heritage Park and also on a loop in the city centre, where a hop-on hop-off tourist service is offered.
In the video…
Ferrymead Heritage Park:

Dunedin # 22 - 4 wheel car, built in 1903 by J G Brill & Co, Philidelphia, USA

Kaiapoi Time-Lapse (Canterbury, New Zealand)
Time-lapse of a few minutes on Main Street of Kaiapoi in Canterbury. Filmed in June 2016.
ABOUT KAIAPOI:
Kaiapoi is a river town in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, located close to the mouth of the Waimakariri River, and approximately 17 kilometres north of Christchurch.
The population of Kaiapoi is growing because of the expansion of Christchurch; indeed it can be classed as a 'bedroom' town for the city. Residing in Kaiapoi is attractive because of the balanced lifestyle; not only is the town a brief hop down the motorway from Christchurch, the immediate area offers great opportunities for water-sports (salmon fishing, beaches, rowing, jet skis, swimming) and general outdoor activities, be it 4 wheel driving, mountain biking, walking or running.
