TIME names Christchurch and Northland among 'world's greatest places'
Christchurch and Northland have both made TIME’s list of the “World’s Greatest Places of 2021”.
The New York-based magazine and website drew upon its global network of correspondents and contributors to compile the 100-strong list “as a tribute to the people and businesses at the forefront” of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries so badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Christchurch was commended for its ongoing transformation in the wake of the earthquake that reduced much of the city to rubble a decade ago.
While the rebuild is not complete, TIME contributor Jessica Wynne Lockhart noted vacant lots were “regularly filled with creative and interactive installations such as hammock forests and a coin-operated dance floor.”

They shall grow not old,

Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
