1.6 Five Campaigns for a Great City<br />

The urban design approach for bringing the Vision<br />

Statement to fruition is organized around five key<br />

“Campaigns for a Great City”:<br />

1. A Sustainable City<br />

2. A City of Livable & Complete<br />

<strong>Neighbourhood</strong>s<br />

3. A Distinct & Unique City<br />

4. A City of Vibrant & Exciting Places<br />

5. A Beautiful City<br />

These Campaigns serve as the broad yet tangible<br />

objectives for shaping future growth in a manner and<br />

character that is desired for the Region Centre. These<br />

Campaigns are themes that emerge in the Guiding<br />

Principles and take form in the Downtown <strong>Halifax</strong><br />

Plan and the <strong>Neighbourhood</strong> <strong>Greenprint</strong>.<br />

As the historic, cultural and economic heart of the<br />

<strong>Halifax</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Municipality</strong>, the urban quality<br />

and character of the <strong>Regional</strong> Centre touches the<br />

lives of most residents and makes the greatest lasting<br />

impression on the image of this city to visitors.<br />

Hence, in many ways, these Campaigns are not just<br />

about the <strong>Regional</strong> Centre, they are also relevant<br />

and meaningful to the entire urban area and the<br />

communities that comprise the <strong>Halifax</strong> <strong>Regional</strong><br />

<strong>Municipality</strong> – a potential next Great City.<br />
