This project is a collaboration between the Cliff Bungalow - Mission Community Association and the Urban Design Research Lab, Faculty of Environmental Design. It was intended to provide an approach to neighourhood-based planning that would augment the City’s traditional, policy and zoning based Area Redevelopment Plan process and provide a new approach and a more comprehensive three-dimensional look at the neighbourhood’s urban structure. It was intended to provide tools for residents, planners, developers, architects and others involved in the community planning process to test development proposals and make better decisions regarding the community’s urban structure (the streets, blocks, and public spaces). Alternatives to current planning practice are offered, including alternatives to current zoning.
