Enhancement of the Landscape

Citation

The approach of several contestants this year to their landscape and green space strategies has been to let the landscape determine the direction of development, rather than carrying out the development and then landscaping the area afterwards.

The starting point for this community, winners of the criteria, was a stark industrial landscape. Their approach has been to consider a total green space system along with their natural landscape. They incorporated bio-diversity, urban amenity and highly accessible recreation experiences through trails, recreation parks and squares.

The result is a truly remarkable transformation from a landscape of steel mills to verdant, highly-functional open public spaces.

The Winner of the Enhancement of the Landscape Criteria at the 2006 LiveCom Awards is:
