Building a healthy city by encouraging connection and integration of open space throughout our neighbourhoods and across the region.
Breathe is a transformative strategy to make sure that as the city grows, each neighbourhood will be supported by a network of open space for the next 30 years. The main goal of the Green Network Strategy is to plan and sustain a healthy city by encouraging connection and integration of open space at the site, neighbourhood, city and regional levels.
The Breathe Procedures and Standards Guide will review and revisit the more detailed aspects of open space planning, design and management, which includes acquisition, site configuration and street frontage. This guide will require further research and engagement and will be in development into 2018.
The strategy will guide future planning to ensure all neighbourhoods are supported by high-quality, accessible, connected open spaces.
Edmonton’s Open Space Policy (C594), approved by City Council in August 2017 along with the Breathe Strategy, recognizes Edmonton’s green network as a living system of interconnected public parks and open spaces, which deliver a broad range of services and community benefits.
The Open Space Policy signals a new direction for open space network planning that supports multi-functionality, recognizes open spaces as part of a connected landscape, and values public land as an important resource that must be thought of holistically.
