Many buildings in Christchurch survived the 2010 earthquake due to stringent building codes and regulations that had been implemented following previous seismic events. The city's infrastructure also benefited from modern engineering techniques and retrofitting of older structures. Additionally, the earthquake's epicenter was located near a sparsely populated area, which reduced the overall impact on urban buildings. Finally, a significant number of Christchurch's buildings were designed to withstand seismic activity, contributing to their resilience during the quake.

The earthquake in Christchurch in 2010 was caused by the movement of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates along the Anzac Fault. This movement resulted in stress building up over time until it was released in the form of an earthquake, causing significant damage to the city.
