Sketching the Future: Complete Neighbourhood Design Workshops - Complete

Close your eyes and imagine the future…what would a typical day be like in a complete neighbourhood? How would it look and feel? What would it mean to have more housing, shops and public spaces close by? What sorts of things would make for better neighbourly connections? What sorts of connections to the city at large would you like to see?

In April 2021, the Complete Neighbourhoods team held a series of six Sketching the Future workshops. Participants at these sessions worked in small groups with a skilled illustrator to sketch out possibilities for future complete neighbourhoods – rendering ideas into images and working collaboratively to map out key opportunities for change.

The workshops focused on identifying opportunities for positive change and transformation to support more affordable, diverse and sustainable neighbourhoods across the city, with attention given to identifying general opportunities in low density neighbourhoods. A BIG thank you to everyone who participated in these sessions. Staff are currently reviewing input received through this process and will be sharing back a summary of these and other Complete Neighbourhoods engagement activities shortly. Stay tuned!
