This is an idea for an industrial park that has a sewage disposal plant as its primary fixture. The sewage disposal plant would be in the center buried under a mound and from, the surrounding area, resemble a small island within a pond.
Self-contained developments – not reticulated

Like Wuhan, Christchurch has a high water table, resulting in many springs and waterways.���
Wuhan has many freshwater lakes. ���Christchurch has the sea coast. ���
Waterways - ���the springs, rivers, streams, wetlands, estuary and coast - form a natural landscape matrix and structure for this city.

Renew Our City (ROC) Renewed & resilient garden city responding to natural & cultural land patterning • Natural corridors forming substantial greenways along at risk waterway lands, providing
pedestrian & cycle movement, recreation, ecosystem services and natural processes.
• River parkland corridor connecting Hagley Park to the coast.
• ‘Daylight’ and naturalise some former tributaries and wetlands.
• Avoiding structures encroaching on waterway systems. Minimising vehicle encroachment along waterways.
• Keeping the heritage grid, its north-south view-shafts to the Port Hills & mountains; but baffle the easterly in the east-west ones - greened corridors.
• Building mixed-use, low-rise (tree height) buildings with well-vegetated sites and surfaces, incl green roofs, and minimising piped runoff through site management.
• Buildings have friendly and elegant facades and uses adjoining public spaces.
• Reduced CBD, responding to natural & cultural cues, green-belted and separated from legible villages beyond.
