Blatchford will be home to up to 30,000 Edmontonians living, working and learning in a sustainable community that uses 100% renewable energy, is carbon neutral, significantly reduces its ecological footprint, and empowers residents to pursue a range of sustainable lifestyle choices. It’s a development that will transform 217 hectares (536 acres) of land in the heart of the city into an inclusive, family-oriented, sustainable community. Mark’s presentation will highlight the vision for the Blatchford community, the unique planning process that his team has undertaken and the latest progress in design and construction.
