When the deadly second earthquake struck Christchurch 10 years ago today, among the many things toppled by natural forces were statues of the city s founding father John Robert Godley, colonial politician William Rolleston and imperial hero Robert Falcon Scott.
Far worse things happened, of course, but this break with the past came to feel powerfully symbolic.
My 2016 book Christchurch Ruptures was in large part about the risks of our thinking being trapped in the past and attempting to put things back as they were. Might letting these statues go allow the city to leave behind the colonial attitudes and practices they represented?

Christchurch property investor Antony Gough said the anchor projects slowed the rebuild. The government didn t deliver on the timelines that they had put down - they had the anchor projects which were meant to be the lead pieces to help everyone get going, he said. But they stuttered in the ground and as I call it, wonder why they re called anchor, [because] they re stuck in the ground going nowhere or going very slow.
Former Christchurch Central Business Association chief executive Peter Townsend said the recovery plan s timelines were too ambitious but that provided momentum.
