| dc.description.abstract | Trees and green space seldom exist in historically low-income neighbourhoods. Yet, neighbourhoods with higher socio-economic levels do not experience the same issue. Winnipeg’s car prioritization demands seas of hard surfaces that facilitate these problematic conditions. Little parkland exists after the City prioritizes expansive right-of-ways that access the land it sold to developers. When park space inequities are acknowledged, expensive land acquisition is the scapegoat for adding more park space. Winnipeg’s failure to prioritize equal access to its outdoor services perpetuates inequities and poverty. However, specific public streets created at the onset of car-centrism have been redundant and idle for years. The practicum will explore where these redundant streets exist within Winnipeg, and by examining low-income neighbourhood trees, parks, and pedestrian spatial experiences, it will propose a parkway network that addresses park space inequities in neighbourhoods of the highest need. | |
