Sociability In North Vancouver Neighborhoods

Design Neighborhood Typology / design strategies for creating livable, affordable, sustainable, sociable, and walkable neighbourhoods.

The designated neighborhood is in North Vancouver, between E11th and E12th streets. Almost is at the heart of the research area. The chosen location is close to parks and other open spaces and can be reached in five minutes or less. However, it takes them more than 8 minutes to go to public restrooms and supermarkets. There is also only residential use and no public gathering space. The primary purpose of this design is to encourage sociability in order to provide an optimal atmosphere for intergenerational living and aging in situ. Large balconies, courtyards, laneways, and apartments are where individuals of various ages will most regularly connect with one another. We designed dwelling styles and incorporated features to solve challenges and achieve our goal. For resolving the problems and reaching our concept, we have developed housing types and added beneficial amenities for all ages.

-Using different types of houses which are suitable and affordable for all ages

-Using a variety of amenities with less than-five minutes’ walks from the residence.
