What is a vision for a new housing neighbourhood?

A vision is a shared aspiration for a place.

Once a vision document is drafted from community discussions and the work of urban designers, it should answer questions like:

• What does Redmond Place look and feel like?
• Beyond the buildings and physical spaces we build, what does life here look like?
• What are our priorities when planning and designing this neighbourhood?

When complete, this 'vision' becomes the touchstone for a project, informing decision-making from design development to project implementation.

A project with a clear vision knows where it is heading and can take informed steps to get there.

Here in an example of a vision document for a new housing precinct, from another Landcom project in North Wilton, and how it can help guide the design process.
