MVH directed a multidisciplinary team of architects, landscape architects, transportation engineers, planners, and economists to develop a downtown master plan for the City of Leduc south of Edmonton, Alberta. Active implementation of the Plan is underway.

City Council realized that all parties had to recommit to their downtown as the centre of their community. MVH developed a comprehensive urban design framework that included policy, design guidelines, mobility analysis, economic strategies, and a focused implementation strategy tied to the City’s budget.  The Downtown Master Plan not only included the main street but the surrounding neighbourhoods as part of a comprehensive planning and design strategy. An interactive series of workshops with the community, staff, the Downtown Progress Association, followed by a very successful open house, resulting in a plan enthusiastically supported by City Council and the community.

The Downtown Plan was recognized by an Alberta Professionals Planners Institute AWARD in 2014.
