Te Mauri O Ōtautahi (the Pulse of Christchurch) is a research project that Research First runs every year with residents, businesses, and youth across Greater Christchurch. By combining the insights from these surveys with the rest of the research we do across the city, Research First is able to create a valuable and unique insight into what is happening across the city.

The 2022 Pulse draws its key themes from across 100 research projects Research First has conducted in the Greater Christchurch area in the last year (comprising tens of thousands of surveys with residents and stakeholders). As a company with its head office here, Research First is profoundly invested in what happens here.
