Two hundred years of planning in Fredericton
Subject
Abstract
Fredericton, a city which now has
a population of 47,000, was
established as the capital of New
Brunswick in 1785. A surveyor named Dugald Campbell
had considerable vision: working
in the 1780s, he set aside land
along the riverfront as green
space, and established a pattern
of development based on a
street-grid. Several unrelated occurrences
have recently provided the City
of Fredericton with a unique
opportunity to build upon the
planning legacy established by
Campbell.
