WINNIPEG
CONNECTING PEOPLE
WINNIPEG CONSIST OF A DISCONNECTING NETWORK IN SEVERAL ASPECTS. THE MOST RELEVANT ASPECTS IN ORDER TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE CITY ARE HERE MAPPED AS GREEN, CYCLING AND RESIDENTIAL CONNECTIONS. THE RECTANGLE ON EACH MAP SHOW THE PART THAT ARE RELEVANT TO DEVELOP TO CONNECT THE CITY BY URBAN DENSIFICATION AND TO PREVENT THE CONTINUOUS URBAN SPRAWL.
RESEARCH GREEN CONNECTIONS TODAY
SYFTE
This studio integrates planning and design from the scale of urban infrastructure through to design detail in the context of landscape and urbanism. An emphasis is placed on the challenges of relevant equitable environmental and social design in the post-industrial world. The studio incorporates the theory and application of CAD and GIS technology in design.

In this project, I chose to focus on creating sustainable bike lanes since Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) has a lack in their bicycle network. The project was done by mapping out different types of bike lanes in Winnipeg, identify its problems and enhance the opportunities. The output was a vision that will make it safe for the inhabitants to travel by bike that also support recreational values. By this, it can motivate the people to chose an active lifestyle as well as a better network can connect neighborhoods and different parts of the city. The format for the presentation was set to 32”-papers, where I used three papers to create a vertical layout that shows the process. Within this course I learnt to work in QGIS as well as to deal with an infrastructure problem.

THE ZOOMED AREA SHOWS THE BIG GAP BETWEEN THE DISCONNECTED GREEN AREAS. HERE, PEOPLE HAVE TO WALK FOR LONGER THAN 5 MIN TO REACH A PARK THAT IS OVER 5 HA. HOWEVER THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACES ARE WITHIN 1.2 MIN AND 2.4 MIN CYCLING DISTANCE.

THE ZOOMED AREA SHOWS THE BIG SPACING BETWEEN TWO BIKE LANES IN THE NORTH EAST PART OF WINNIPEG. THE DISTANCE IS EQUAL TO A 13 MIN BIKE RIDE WHICH MEANS THAT THE TWO LANES ARE NOT IN EITHER WALKING OR CYCLING DISTANCE.

THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN THIS GAP ARE IN CLUSTERS BUT THERE ARE MISSING LINKS BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS SEPARATES THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY. THE EXAMPLES ABOVE SHOWS THE CYCLING DISTANCE.
STRATEGIES PHASE 1 |
DEVELOP A SEPARATED BIKE LANE FOR THE MOST DISCONNECTED SITE AND USE THIS AS A TOOL TO CREATE GREEN
BIKE POOLS
CORRIDORS AND LOCAL GREEN CORRIDORS
PHASE 2 |
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT.
DEVELOP A
SUSTAINABLE
CYCLING
NETWORK
BIKE PUMP STATIONS
THAT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO MEET AS WELL AS GO TO SCHOOL/WORK IN A SAFE, HEALTHY AND AN EASY WAY.
