You’re invited to build your version of Calgary transit oriented developments
TOD in LEGO form
How do you see Calgary Transit Oriented Development?
The City of Calgary is inviting citizens of all ages to use their imaginations, creativity and LEGOs to show city planners what they think be a successful transit oriented development.
In an effort to design communities that require less time behind the wheel of a car, the City is inviting would-be designers and architects to show what they think Transit Oriented Development (TOD) could look like. Participants will be using LEGO blocks to build their future communities,
Transit oriented development (TOD) is a walkable, mixed-use form of community development located within a 600m radius of a Calgary Transit Station (LRT or BRT), creating convenient, accessible and vibrant neighbourhoods for residents and visitors.
The City’s first of several TOD events scheduled throughout the summer attracted hundreds of ‘builders’ and observers, and no two designs were alike.
Participants are free to create anything they want within the height restrictions on the model.
You’re encouraged to bring your family out for an afternoon of fun and learning at our ‘Making Stations Places, Block by Block’ events listed below.
