| dc.description | The co-op undertook this project as part of the national Co-operative Housing Federation’s Compass 2020 initiative, facilitated by the Southern Alberta Housing Coeoperative’s (SACHA) Vision 2020 process. Vision 2020 is intended to examine Sunnyhill’s history and evolution, current context and future opportunities. The BALTA project team was tasked with using a design methodology to support the Vision 2020 exercises while offering the Cooperative thoughtful and creative options for their future. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | This proposal/plan describes a research project of the BC-Alberta Social Economy Research Alliance (BALTA) focusing on co-operative housing. The project involved a team of Environmental Design students at the University of Calgary working with the Sunnyhill Housing Co-operative in Calgary to explore options for its future using a design approach. Elements to be considered in the design were post-carbon urban living, socio-cultural, economic and ecological sustainability and resilience, as well as intensification and diversity of land uses. A subsequent stage of the process involved an evaluation of the design approach to explore its value as a methodology for other co-ops to use in planning. | en |
