dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates the architectural role of green belts and recreational zones as
one solution to urban sprawl, ultimately creating healthier, more livable cities. A list of
concepts and guidelines will be derived from both historical and modern green belt efforts,
for the development of a more livable city in the 21st century. These concepts will then
be tested as a tool on the city of Halifax. The concepts and guidelines will be used in the
development of a green belt master plan. The plan will connect Halifax through existing
and proposed parks and recreation. Secondly, it will develop a series of networks and
connections enhancing the ability for alternate methods of transportation into and out of
the urban core, facilitated by the design of a pedestrian bridge. Finally, a second design
will support the existing program of mountain biking and create a unique architectural
cycling experience for both the user and the observer. | en_US |
