Part 1

Text reading “Part 1 Neighbourhood Life Cycles” appears, neighbourhood scene faded in background

It’s time to develop new Neighbourhood Plans for mature communities throughout Regina.

Neighbourhood scene with city skyline in background, houses, pedestrians, bikes, cars animate across the scene

Communities evolve over time and face a constant cycle of growth and change for both infrastructure and residents.

Neighbourhood scene zooms out to reveal city skyline.  Vehicles, bikes, pedestrians, smaller houses removed and replaced with larger house

As neighbourhoods age, buildings require maintenance to remain practical.

Neighbourhood scene fades to background, insert window pops up.  Two people working on a house are shown close up. 

What was a desirable home at the start of a neighbourhood’s life cycle…may not meet the needs of today’s residents.

One small house on a road, road changes, two bigger houses animate in on either side of smaller house, trees animate in

Allowing for a variety of housing types in our mature neighbourhoods means new owners can move in… seniors can age in their communities…schools stay open… businesses stay strong… and new amenities have an opportunity to thrive.

Small house animates out and is replaced by a larger house as the city skyline animates in the background.  Houses and City skyline fade into the background.  Rectangle with moving truck animates in, truck fades, rectangle with elderly animates in, elderly people fade, rectangle with school animates in, flag blows in the wind, rectangle with school fades.  Shop animates in.  Sign flips from “closed to open”.  Shop fades, circle with basketball net animates in, ball is shot through the net.

Design Regina, the City’s Official Community Plan, sets the stage for long-term development as we prepare for our population to grow to 300,000 people over the next 20 years. 

Neighbourhood scene faded in background.  Graph animates in with orange arrow pointing up to the right, graph shows 2020 population of 200,000 increasing to 300,000 in 2040.  Animated people begin to pop up around the graph.

Many of the City’s Neighbourhood Plans have not been updated in 30 years, and some neighbourhoods don’t even have one.

Map scene of city animates in, blue cursor comes in and moves over and clicks a couple of different areas.

As we grow, the City of Regina is committed to developing complete neighbourhoods that are living, dynamic and unique entities that evolve over time.

Working with residents and stakeholders, new plans will support mature neighbourhoods to ensure they continue to thrive, as we look at new ways to accommodate needs into the future.

People standing in front of a presentation board.  Group discussion about areas on the map.

As plans are developed, we’ll use Design Regina and the Zoning Bylaw as a base to engage residents in conversation.

Design Regina, Zoning Bylaw and Neighbourhood Plans word marks animate in

Specifically, conversations will focus on how land is used, and what houses and buildings could look like, within each neighbourhood.

Speech bubbles animate in.  Shop and house elements animate into the bubbles.

It’s an opportunity to have a say in future development, and provide input into how your neighbourhood could change to accommodate growth.

People animate in under speech bubbles.  Two more speech bubbles animate in, Light bulb and three faces in the bubbles.

What makes your neighbourhood great? What could make it better? (We want to know!)

Part 3

Growth & Redevelopment 

Text reading “Part 3 Growth & Redevelopment” appears, neighbourhood scene faded in background

Over the years, neighbourhoods fluctuate as the makeup of families change. We want to attract people to mature neighbourhoods to keep schools and businesses open.

Infrastructure updates and decisions about new services are impacted by the amount of people living in an area.

Background fades, icons of trees, bus, basketball net and people animate in one by one

We need to identify opportunities for growth and redevelopment, while appreciating what makes each area special and unique.

Having diverse housing options for people of all ages, incomes and lifestyles, helps to create liveable, vibrant communities.

Whether you’re looking for a place to start out, grow a family, or settle down, revitalizing a neighbourhood provides more choice.
