Respirez : la stratégie du réseau écologique d’Edmonton

15 open space functions, grouped into the themes of Ecology, Celebration and Wellness, provide the planning framework.

The Breathe Framework aggregates Ecology, Celebration and Wellness into the existing Urban Infrastructure.

Individual open spaces provide a wide variety of functions and amenities to the City and its residents.

Provisioning of highly-functional and accessible open spaces is assessed for the present day, and following future growth.

Although a city-wide project, the framework provides great fine scale detail on individual neighbourhoods of the city.

The Ecology network assessment highlights which open spaces provide the greatest contribution to the urban ecosystem.

The Celebration network assessment highlights the contribution and accessibility of community and event spaces.

The Wellness network assessment identifies areas which promote active lifestyles, and the connected pathway network.

Circuitscape movement models highlight gaps and pinchpoints in the movement of pedestrians between open spaces.

Key gaps in the connected pathway network are highlighted, with actions to improve connectivity between open spaces.

Detailed renderings of key areas highlight highly-functional open spaces, and provide clear strategic improvements.

Lively public graphics and animations explain the benefits of multi-functional open spaces.

Regular opportunities for public engagement were promoted throughout the project.

Online surveys and map tools provided meaningful input at multiple stages of the project.

Indigenous consultation ensured that traditional uses and sacred spaces were respected.

The included video formed a key portion of the final public Strategic Plan launch.
