Spall, Springfield
he Capri-Landmark area has a long history of transformation. Originally, the area was home to an extensive network of streams and wetlands, which were eventually converted into prime agricultural lands.
As the city grew, commercial and industrial development replaced farming. Residential and office development followed. Today, Capri-Landmark finds itself in a strategic location at the centre of the city. The area is home to over 2,600 residents and hundreds of businesses that together employ over 5,200, and the next phase of its transformation is underway.
The Capri-Centre Mall is undergoing a wholesale redevelopment into a high-density, mixed-use community, and pressure for more residential and commercial development is occurring throughout the urban centre.
The trouble is, the area was never designed to handle this growth. Rather than supporting a more vibrant place, this new development exacerbates already stretched infrastructure. Continuing down this path will not deliver an area with the high quality of life that citizens have come to expect fromKelowna.
Dynamic, mixed-use urban centres drive growth and create enjoyable spaces where people can thrive. Developing engaging urban areas also allows cities to foster economic development while simultaneously providing social and environmental benefits. High-density areas that are home to a variety of housing and amenity options have lower infrastructure costs than suburban areas and are more cost effective to service. Additionally, compact urban spaces allow for viable sustainable transportation options, including public transit, biking, and walking, which can reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Overall, effectively designed urban centres provide a high quality of life and allow businesses to prosper.
