Development Principles
The design/development of Shawnee Park is based on a series of development principles including:
- We believe that place affects well-being, and that landscapes with character can enhance well-being for all.
- We believe that homes are a critical piece of our personal identity, and exist as much in the mind as they do on the land.
- We believe in people-oriented development. We have considered the lives of our future residents, their homes, their surroundings, their experience and their mobility.
- We believe in learning from history. Canadian and international cities have integrated useful and tested planning principles into developments that can inform the design of Shawnee Park.
- We believe that the principles found within the Municipal Development Plan are making Calgary a more livable and vibrant city, and that the proposed Shawnee Park plan incorporates and advances key ideas about community density, walkability and sustainability contained within it.
- We believe that developers can and must be a force for good. Our work is never performed in isolation, but is part of a bigger story of the city and its surroundings. We believe every project can be a legacy project.
Integration Development necessitates a principled approach to the built product and the surveying and preparation of the land.
