Planning Design 2
NIVERVILLE MB
FALL 2006
Instructors: Dr. Sheri Blake and Larissa Panachenko
In Winter 2006, students worked with the Town of Niverville, located southeast of Winnipeg. Students explored Integrated Development Plans, seeking to integrate economic concerns with environmental social and governance issues. Initially students explored the region in general, identifying resources, heritage, economies, and governance of the past, present and future. They then examined how the culture of different settlements, including First Nations, French Parish, Mennonite, and Ukrainian, influenced development patterns. As they explored Niverville in more detail, students developed a range of participatory planning techniques and tested them in a Town Hall setting, through a mail questionnaire, and on-site workshops with seniors, students, business owners and other stakeholders. Final documents, tied together through an integrated development plan framework, explored issues and strategies for active transportation, building community bonds, housing and site design, affordable housing, rural transportation, tourism, and town development. The final work was presented to the CAO, Mayor, and Councilors, together with interested residents, and various politicians and CAOs from surrounding communities.
