Christchurch City Re:START village project being setup in the Cashel Mall.

Businesses moving into the City Mall precinct include a mix of old tenants, big brands and pre-quake central city stalwarts.

Kathmandu will be the main anchor of the northern precinct, with fashion shops – including Trelise Cooper and Maher Shoes – clustered around the Crafted Coffee cafe.

Project architect Anton Tritt, of the Buchan Group, said shipping containers had been chosen for the precinct because they were strong. They could also be reused at a new site if landowners decided to put up more permanent buildings.

Because of an agreement with the landowners, new tenants were given leases of only six months, with the entire shopping precinct scheduled to be dismantled after Easter next year.

However, some organisers expressed hope that, if successful, the containers could remain for years.

The Edutainer is an innovative and practical way to address the problem of scarce, inferior early childhood education in South Africa. The conversion process (which you can read more about in the article

below), ensures that the Edutainer is fitted with windows and doors, insulated, electrified, furnished, and then delivered to a community and

installed on prepared concrete foundations.

The Edutainer is plentifully stocked with carefully selected books, teaching aids, and educational toys. Edutainers are usually used as pre-schools for five to six year olds in impoverished areas where there are
