Planning North of Normal
Despite regulations, the pandemic has forced many of us into live-work situations. How could this influence planning and design for live-work in the future?
Challenge:
This session opened up the Planners Institute of BC’s 2021 Annual Conference with a session on designing a live-work community at the block scale that could inspire planning decisions across the province.
Co-design Process:
As we plan for the new normal, let’s assume that various services and businesses are allowed in residential districts. How could a residential block be transformed into a live-work community?
STEP 1 - Streetscape and lanes
STEP 2 - Amenities
STEP 3 - Buildings
