Transforming Shawlands from a corridor into destination filled with community, character, and sustainable living.

Our four projects aim to facilitate a sense of arrival at transportation hubs, unite neighborhoods through communal spaces for public events and commerce, create a safer and more memorable high street that is pedestrian dominated, and to introduce active travel and well-being through nature-oriented pathways linking the major green spaces.

Shawlands has the potential be a bustling, vibrant destination that is defined by its thriving community a uniqueness of place. Our strategic plan, was created in the hopes that each proposal could be accomplished successfully in a 25-year time frame to ensure that Shawlands is turned into a place that exudes character and green living.
