Design Guidelines for the Model Building Typologies Chapter 4. Implementation Strategies 1.4.1 Background and Vision This document establishes the scope and intent of the Neighbourhood Greenprint and sets out the overarching vision for growth within the Regional Centre over the next 50 years. The Vision is supported by the Five Campaigns for a Great City, which are in turn supported by the Guiding Principles for Urban Design. 1.4.2 Regional Centre Reurbanization Strategies and Urban Design Guidelines The Reurbanization Strategies build on the Background and Vision to define and guide new development to ensure that it is compatible and in a form that is appropriate to its local context. This approach to new development also affords HRMbyDESIGN Neighbourhood Greenprint H a l i f a x R e g i o n a l M u n i c i p a l i t y exciting new prospects for engaging in a process of much needed ‘urban repair’, which is about ‘filling in the gaps’ in the urban environment and improving areas that have fallen into decline over the years. Reurbanization is about beginning to define a renewed, distinctive, contemporary and invigorating urbanism for HRM. This document outlines in detail the nature of change that should be directed to the following urban categories: General Neighbourhoods, Corridors and Centres; Urban Neighbourhoods, Corridors and Centres; Urban Corridors; and Urban Centres. 1.4.3 Design Guidelines for the Model Building Typologies The Model Building Typology Design Guidelines provide design guidance for the building typologies set out in the Regional Centre Reurbanization Strategies and Urban Design Guidelines section of the Greenprint document. For office buildings, a mid rise and high rise typology is defined. For residential buildings, typologies are defined based on massing and organization of units within them, including: house forms; continuous and stacked house forms; low rise; mid rise; and, high rise. The guidelines provide a general description, density targets, and design objectives for massing, articulation, parking and servicing. 1.4.4 Implementation Strategies Under Development. The Implementation Strategies provide a recommended roadmap for translating the HRMbyDesign Neighbourhood Greenprint into action.
