万锦北部新区开发计划-NORTH MARKHAM FUTURE URBAN AREA
每个城市都有其发展的进程和规划,万锦近几年的进步飞快,万锦是加拿大的高科技之都,同时也是大多伦多地区仅次于Toronto、Mississauga和Brampton的第四大城市。周边有5个城市和万锦接壤,分别是东边的Pickering、南边的Toronto、北边的Stouffville、西边的Richmond Hill和Vaughan。
随着城市的发展,会开发一些新区,原本的农田,空地等会被规划。NORTH MARKHAM FUTURE URBAN AREA就是一项城市发展的计划。
万锦近几年一直是飞速的发展,万锦的正式英文名称在2012年7月1日从Town of Markham改成了City of Markham,Town是小镇的意思,city是城市了,这也反映了这个城市的发展在未来将更进一步,
先来看看万锦的区域地图。
注意看粉色的区域是urban area, 就是城市区域,有人居住的区域。woodbine以东,Major Mac 以北的区域都是白色的,是没有住宅的区域。
我每次经过这里的时候都会觉得那么好的地方空着真是浪费啊。只是城市的发展是有规划有序的发展的。随着人口的增多,需要更多的住宅区域,所以这就诞生了NORTH MARKHAM FUTURE URBAN AREA的计划。
来看看这个计划的地图。
在Woodbine以东,Major Mac以北,Egin Mills以南,Mccowan以西这个区域里将会开发为住宅区域,也叫Neighbourhood Area, 而在Woodbine/Warden/Egin Mills/19th之前新区是规划为Employment Area。 是解决就业的区域。
整个北部新区的面积是1288 公顷,Neighbourhood Area有675公顷,Employment area占地是300公顷,总的北部新区将会容纳12,000居民单元,共计人口可容纳38,000人,并提供大约19,000个职位。
上图中绿色的区域将继续保留原始的风貌,有些是湿地,有些是农地或者古迹等。
要开放新区会涉及到很多的事情,公共设施的建设,公路,公共交通,水,电,暖,废水排放等等。是一项很庞大的工程。
目前都是还在study的阶段。主要分下面几个study的内容。
第一个:Conceptual Master Plan (CMP)
The Conceptual Master Plan will:
- provide the planning framework for the Secondary Planning and Development Approvals process
- be a non-statutory document endorsed by Council
The Conceptual Master Plan has two components:
1. Community Structure Plan components (schedules):
- Greenway System (including major parks)
- Transportation Network (road, transit,cycling, walking)
- Servicing Network (major infrastructure)
- Land use (neighbourhoods, mixed-use areas, employment)
- Major community facilities (including high school(s)) and infrastructure
- Cultural heritage resources
2. Key Directions and Implementation Document components:
- Sustainability
- Neighbourhood
- Mixed Use
- Employment
- Mobility (walking, cycling, transit, roads)
- Phasing
第二个:Sub-Watershed Studies
The Future Urban Area contains four sub-watersheds:
- Bruce
- Berczy
- Eckhardt
- Robinson
Planning the Future Urban Area
Each sub-watershed will be studied to address environmental matters such as natural heritage, groundwater, surface water, watercourses associated with each major watercourse.
第三个:Servicing and Transportation Studies
Three Engineering-related Studies are being initiated:
- Water
- Wastewater
- Transportation
Each study will provide infrastructure requirements to feed into the Sub-watershed
Studies analysis and the Conceptual Master Plan.
Coordination of Studies
Planning the Future Urban Area
-Work Programs for each Study are being coordinated to follow the Environmental Assessment Master Planning Process
- Common Open Houses/Public Information Centres between all Studies (as required)
城市的规划与发展是一个重大的课题,也需要居民的参与。所以如果你有兴趣参与的话,可以从附件了解到更进一步的信息。
