The Bristol Civic Framework Plan began as a typical “landscape”
plan. Upon studying the city, it became apparent that the issues and opportunitites
extend well beyond vegetation or what is typically termed “open space.”
The Framework Plan presented considers the sturcture of the city--the larger
order, functions, spaces, and relationships of the city.
The Plan synthesizes initiatives, significant spaces, and ideas into a Civic
Landscape that forms a connective tissue that connects the best parts of
Bristol and allows those parts to add up to something greater than the individual
parts could make on their own.
The Civic Landscape links Bristol’s existing opportunities into a singular
network--a clear and ‘imagable’ landscape to revitalizes Bristol.
It is a public landscape that demonstrates the shared ideals of Bristol,
links disparate parts of the city, gives residents a cognitive map of their
city, and establishes a clear ‘festival route’ along which to
plan festivals and public events.
