A new plan for a new-look Cathedral Square with multiple zones. Will it work?

Fancy a picnic in Cathedral Square? On a lawn, by a stream, near wetlands with native vegetation and birdlife?

Pack the thermos, that could be a future family outing if Regenerate Christchurch gets the green light for its Square revamp.

Its draft proposal, released publically today, divides Cathedral Square into three inter-connecting places - Cathedral Gardens, the Library Plaza, and Post Office Place - each with its own unique flavour.
