dc.description.abstract | The residential suburb is a common form of development in North America. Suburbs are home for many people, but unfortunately, the patterns most often replicated in suburban development do not encourage livability, ecology, or equity. This practicum is a typology of residential neighbourhoods that explores how the built form, landscape, and infrastructure can promote qualities of livability, ecology, and equity. The investigation involves an in-depth analysis of four Winnipeg neighbourhoods that seeks to assess the qualities of livability, ecology, and equity in suburban development patterns. The purpose of this research is to understand the role and application of neighbourhood types and to help planners and designers engage in the generation of new types through the design of livable, ecological, and equitable suburbs. | en_US |
