Need a quick, inexpensive and near-indestructible building to replace your earthquake-damaged shops? Christchurch came up with the innovative idea of adapting shipping containers. It has been a notable success - there's even a bank. Other images in notes.

That was a brainwave and they look better than some of the eyesores put up in the sixties. A good presentation, George.

They look good. I think there is a housing project in the south of England which has used shipping containers very successfully.
