There's a view Canterbury's economic growth can't all be put down to the earthquakes. 

The Herald's Project Canterbury report, out today, looks at the businesses, civic leaders, infrastructure providers, and investors driving the region's growth. 

ChristchurchNZ CEO Ali Adams told Mike Hosking the region has natural advantages helping fuel growth in sectors like aerospace and dark sky tourism, with an international airport just 20 minutes from the city. 

But she says things like a health precinct came from the earthquakes, and has been pivotal for the city attracting companies. 

But with plenty of room to grow further, the region is expecting some growing pains. 

Adams told Hosking attracting skilled workers will be the next challenge. 

She says there's amazing tertiary institutions in the region, but the sectors of growth rely on people studying science, technology, engineering, and maths, and that's dropping off.
