Street design and public space quality is a core aspect of a city’s functionality. Planners when developing new neighborhoods base the designs on those fundamental rules of bringing community together, visual appeal and multi-purpose space for everyone. However, when we look at the parks and roads in the city of Saskatoon, there is a contradiction to those rules. The roads are created only for the cars, many of them lacking even sidewalks, whereas parks are rarely made for different activities, rather for simply passing by to get from point A to point B.
