[“The city's population recovered to pass pre-quake levels in 2016, and an estimated 400,000-plus now live in metropolitan areas in Greater Christchurch, including the fast-growing Waimakariri and Selwyn districts. The rise has been mostly from immigration, and from ex-patriates returning, making the population more ethnically diverse.

Recent projections indicate Canterbury needs about 106,000 migrants over the next 15 years, or about 6600 people yearly, to fill both skilled and unskilled jobs.”]

Christchurch is "uniquely placed" among New Zealand cities to handle a lot more people.
