Conclusion

The focus of blending and balancing history, ecology, economy and community, while responding to the pressure of a growing population can be challenging. Shaganappi Point strives to remove itself from Calgary’s current practices of unsustainable growth at the edges of the city, as well as disconnecting itself from auto dependency, while moving towards a new standard that provides opportunities for all to live, work and play. This new standard is also responding to the need for population densification while protecting existing natural treasures within the parks and open spaces, along the Douglas Fir Forest. Finally, respecting the history of the land by including and creating a space for cultural acceptance through a Reconciliation and Cultural Centre builds trust and fosters respectful growth of a sustainable community and city. We at ECOM are proud to propose this development for Calgary and envision a place where residents’ quality of life will be enriched.
