Planning and Designing for the Winter City (Presentation slides)

Cities in northern places have unique climate characteristics dominated by the winter season. The presentation will provide community planning and design ideas for responding to winter in the areas of site and building design, transportation, pedestrian circulation, snow management, and aesthetics. Opportunities to use snow and ice for community celebrations and special events will also be covered.
