Christchurch is the largest city in New Zealand's South Island and the country's third-largest city, home to approximately 400,000 residents. It shares New Zealand Standard Time (NZST/NZDT) with Auckland and Wellington. Christchurch experienced catastrophic earthquakes in September 2010 and February 2011 — the February earthquake (magnitude 6.3) killed 185 people and destroyed much of the historic city centre, including Christchurch Cathedral. The city has undergone an extraordinary decade-long rebuild — the Transitional (Cardboard) Cathedral, built from reinforced cardboard tubes in 2013 as a temporary replacement, became an iconic symbol of resilience and innovative thinking. The rebuilt central city features a new purpose-built innovation precinct, Te Kaha (a new stadium), and a remarkable regeneration of public spaces. Christchurch is the gateway to Antarctica — it hosts the Antarctic logistics hub for American, Italian, and New Zealand research programmes, and the International Antarctic Centre is a major attraction.
