Local residents visit a Shopping Mall built with pop-up shipping containers in central Christchurch, New Zealand, on Dec. 3, 2011. Twenty-seven shops and cafes have been built from 64 converted shipping containers in the mall, which became the first part of the city's red zone to open for business since the Feb. 22 quake which killed 181 people. Built out of shipping containers, the precinct is home to more than 20 shops and represents a new beginning for Christchurch's quake-ravaged CBD.
