Sustainable Community Design Worksheet
The Cedar Creek proposal
A Canadian town is planning a new neighbourhood beside Cedar Creek. The site includes a wetland, a patch of mature trees, and an open field. Frogs breed in the wetland, songbirds nest in the trees, and pollinators visit wildflowers in the field. The draft plan would pave much of the field for parking and build homes close to the creek. Residents want affordable homes, safe routes to school, and places to enjoy nature. The town has a limited budget and must reduce flood risk and protect local wildlife.
- More habitat and food for pollinators
- Less habitat for pollinators and more stormwater runoff
- More water soaking into the ground
- No change to the local ecosystem
- Keep a vegetated buffer along the creek
- Pave the wetland for additional parking
- Use rain gardens and permeable paths
- Remove mature trees to create a wider road
Follow the energy
In a nearby meadow, plants are eaten by grasshoppers. Frogs eat grasshoppers, and herons eat frogs. Arrows in a food chain point from the food to the organism that eats it.
