This CMHC funded study re-examined the design of a Calgary suburb and proposed an alternative solution. Edgemont II presented a denser more compact form with a broader range of local services and amenities than the existing.
The plan is organized like a village, with centres containing essential services. Bus service links all sub-centres and the plan is organized on the basis of easy walking distance to all community facilities. The open space park and path system is extensive, linking all parts of the site. Everywhere there is a strong awareness of the natural land form. Open space and the dynamic qualities of the site are brought deep into the plan weaving a rich pattern of housing, gardens and parks.
