Adopted in 2014, this plan is part of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) global agreement, through which cities are provided support to develop resilient strategies to address their respective municipal challenges and, later, share lessons between other cities within the agreement. Christchurch's plan first gathered input from over one-hundred stakeholders to identify key challenges and opportunities within the area, before working with multi-agency working groups led by subject matter experts (i.e., local governance, local tribal leadership, community and academic groups, with support from 100RC) to identify specific goals and actions to build resiliency. Identified challenges include: community and social cohesion; housing affordability and accessibility; future of the urban form of Greater Christchurch; and natural hazard planning. In regards to food, Greater Christchurch seeks to increase sustainability through strengthening local community food systems rather than rely on global trade and supply chains. Further, the city also seeks to build capacity to source food from local and urban environments (i.e., rivers, public and private land, edible forests, etc.), which is expected to not only increase environmental sustainability, but provide opportunities for increase social cohesion and relationship building. Specific actions include developing an edible orchard and obtaining grants and supports to establish community gardens.
