From reporter Liz McDonald:
--------------------
It has taken more than a decade, but Christchurch’s central city population has finally passed pre-quake numbers thanks to record home building.

The latest Statistics New Zealand estimate puts the population inside the city’s four avenues at 8080. This compares with about 8000 pre-quake and 5000 in 2013, but remains well short of the city council’s 20,000 target.
