It`s time to take a look at the neighbourhood
The rapid pace of growth we have experienced over the last decade or so hasn`t allowed much time to pause to consider how our streets, blocks and neighbourhoods are functioning in creating a sense of community and nurturing the ideal lifestyles for which we strive.
Many have taken for granted the lifestyle they enjoy in neighbourhoods that have seen the benefits of a prosperous society, but that have avoided much change. Others are the pioneers of a new urban lifestyle, leaving behind the single-family subdivisions of the 1960s and `70s and living in smaller forms of multi-family housing, in more dense, modern, more urban places. Growth has enabled their new lifestyles.
