Breaking ground - a fused grid neighbourhood in CalgaryNH18-23/108-020E

Cover image

Looks at a model for planning sustainable neighbourhoods - the Fused Grid - which blends desirable elements of conventional and grid-based street layouts. It gives priority to walking and cycling and prevents through traffic at the neighbourhood scale. Using an approved subdivision plan for a new Calgary neighbourhood - Saddleton, it reviews the issues that relate to the successful application of the model in Canada, including design considerations, guiding principles, site constraints, the process of reviews and approvals, and more.
