Description

SUDBURY 2030, 2050, 2100..

Climate change presents us with the moral ecological obligation to set higher standards of stewardship expectations for one another in order to develop a culture of caring for change. The global stillness in the wake of COVID-19 has proven that if humans allow it, nature will reclaim itself; therefore, we find urban design at the crux of a cultural shift in perspective of priorities; towards a more critical collective understanding of the importance and desire to learn from history and to proactively seek out sustainable built environment solutions for the public realm.

If concentration of activity stems from design tailored to the collective identity of a people, then the best vision of Sudbury's future necessitates an urban core that seeks to amplify the unique Sudbury landscape which provides a personality of place. Downtown is the ideal location to take root of this commitment to a cultural shift in perspective, as it's existing urban fabric layers are not only rich with city history but porous enough for the landscape to permeate through. Sudbury's location allows it to already act as a hub for Northern Ontario services, which expands our regional commitment to strive, not merely for better for the sake of the city's residents, but further to a more provincial, nation, and global scale; bringing downtown Sudbury to the forefront of unprecedented climate change-focused design. Sudbury has the key which will unlock the city's potential to be the lifeblood of the North. A master plan that is rooted in moral intentions not only has the ability to unify people of varying perspectives by providing a larger universal goal, but further to position the city as a global leader in designing a better future for humanity. Let's start meaningfully taking the steps towards this collective vision.

LESSONS FROM REGREENING

In Sudbury, the ratio of rock to vegetation creates a barren scenery -- a testament to the exhaustive yet significant history of Nickel City's mining. Despite once being branded as the world's closest opportunity to walk on the moon, the intensive, unified efforts beginning in the late 1970s to restore the natural spaces that were lost to industrialization, had catapulted Sudbury to the global stage for its massive demonstration of ecological transformation. This master design framework for the future of Sudbury imagines a second wave of regreening that builds on this stewardship aspect of Sudbury's identity and focuses on ecological integration, connectivity and rewilding. Rewilding facilitates urban connectivity by working with existing parks and forested areas and permeating throughout the city's urban routes to allow an equitable network of access to nature and transportation. The symbiotic relationship created by the wild nature and the city streets, laneways, and pathways will change Sudbury from a city of separate zones to a cohesive biophilic city.

In the study of urban planning systems, parks are often an oasis within the urban fabric; however, many of Sudbury's parks are lacklustre in comparison to the wild spaces surrounding the city and are not used to their full potential as a result. Understanding that programs in the North must be climate-appropriate, we focus on developing habitable environments with a focus on winter spaces that guide city dwellers easily to and around the core of the city, equitably and inclusively.
