The key challenge was to create a cohesive development strategy that respected the traditional neighbourhoods and nationally significant industrial base, while significantly increasing economic, tourism and housing opportunities.
The vision work included:
- Charrettes and workshops with key stakeholders and citizens which guided the planning process;
- Economic and demographic analysis to understand both the lifestyle and economic factors driving regional demands;
- Environmental analyses to understand the ecological assets of the region;
- Frameworks for livability; and,
- Concept growth plans for the existing historic Downtown, a new Uptown high-density mixed-use district core, revitalization of a regional and local centre, and new greenfield neighbourhoods.
The resulting vision identified centres and corridors as engines of economic and residential growth while maintaining and establishing new accessible places for services, community amenities and green spaces. Elevating the city’s aspirations and urban design as the metropolis matures.
