The Pulse of Christchurch 2022: How are we really doing?

Join us to hear the most up to date insights on Christchurch. Every year Research First puts together research about how the city is really doing, drawing on a dedicated survey of greater residents, business owners, and youth from across Greater Christchurch. This is then added to the other work done by Research First across the city, creating a kind of informal meta-analysis about the key themes that are then presented to a subset of the city leaders and movers and shakers. This is a unique opportunity to hear what the data is telling us about our city, ourselves, and the future direction of Ōtautahi Christchurch.
