Mayor Lianne Dalziel says getting Auckland businesses into Christchurch is a way to move the city forward.
While speaking to Chris Lynch on his Newstalk ZB show this morning, Dalziel said there is a lot of good reasons for businesses to move to Christchurch.
She said economic development organisation ChristchurchNZ has been talking to a range of companies about the opportunities that exist in the city.
"We're on an exponential curve. Christchurch can be one of those incredible places where you can trial and test things for the future."
