Preliminary Design Principles
Six design principles emerged from the rich and varied discussion that took place last year during Designing The Parks Part II at Cavallo Point. They are:
Park planning and design must demonstrate:
• Reverence for place;
• Engagement of all people;
• Expansion beyond traditional boundaries;
• Sustainability;
• Informed decision-making;
• An integrated research, planning, design, and review process.
