This paper will take up the Canterbury earthquake in New Zealand, which occurred in 2011, as an example for discussing the creative reconstruction. Its main characteristics were summarized into the following 3 points. Firstly, the self-help-centric solutions based on the enhancing of insurance have been addressed. Secondly, in conjunction with the aforementioned issue, mobility of the population is high and many people have moved out of the affected area after the disaster. Thirdly, reconstructions using works of art have been attempted at the most disaster-stricken area. The reason why works of art have been made in the affected area is that many spaces such as vacant lots and walls which could not be immediately reconstructed became available for use after building collapses and mass move-outs of many individuals, families, and companies. The background behind the high rate of moving out and relocation of people can be accounted for by the enhancing of the insurance system in New Zealand society, and the alliance between the government, such as CERA (Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority), and civil society. What the example from New Zealand demonstrates is that temporary art in affected areas has the power to provide vibrancy to scenery which looked to have fallen behind in reconstruction, and to convert the area into a place where people could gather again.
