People's happiness is as important as climate change.

Billions of construction dollars have been pumped into Christchurch since the devastating 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.

Nine years on, the rebuilt central city has emerged as the most modern in New Zealand. But there are still major gaps, most noticeably unfinished Crown anchor projects such as the metro sports facility, convention centre and a new stadium.
