PROJECT BRIEF

THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES OF GOOD STREETS’ IN CALGARY? WHAT IS MISSING FROM THE PLACES THAT ARE NOT GOOD? HOW DO THESE STREETS HELP TO DEFINE CALGARY’S SENSE OF PLACE? THE AREA OF STUDY IS TTHE 1ST STREET.

1ST STREET SW - CALGARY IS SITUATED BETWEEN THE BOW & ELBOW RIVERS, PASSING THROUGH DOWNTOWN. IT WAS ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS SCARTH STREET BEFORE THE CITY OF CALGARY CONVERTED THE NAMES TO NUMBERS IN 1904. THROUGH OUR ANALYSIS OF THE STREET AND ITS SURROUNDINGS, WE FOUND THAT IT IS GENERALLY A GOOD STREET WITH A FEW NEGATIVE POINTS.
