Future Urban Development Patterns

Respondents were asked:

“During the planning process, stakeholders have talked about the ‘suburban style growth model’ moving west, and the loss of greenspace and agricultural lands. People have also talked about the potential to renew and redevelop the historic urban cores, and Main streets. Thinking about future development patterns, what do you think the focus should be?”

SCALE: 1 = FOCUS ON ‘SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT’; to 10 = FOCUS ON RENEWING URBAN CORES

Key things to note:

  • The majority of respondents feel that future urban development patterns should focus on renewing urban cores and main streets.
  • Those respondents who made up the older age cohorts were more inclined to also focus on surburban development.
