The Christchurch rebuilding experience is most significant, providing a unique insight into some of the mechanisms that can dictate structural engineering decisions during the post-earthquake reconstruction of a modern city.
However, the most significant part of this effort was interviews conducted with the structural engineering consultants.
Follow-up interviews were conducted with engineers in Wellington and Auckland.
