SHORT - Blatchford is the largest planned carbon-neutral community in North America! This groundbreaking project in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, was once deemed "wildly ambitious" and might have been ahead of its time when it launched, but now it's soaring!
We kick off a thrilling six-part series exploring this innovative urban design, an infill project spanning 500 acres with space for 30,000 residents right in the heart of one of the most sprawling cities around. Blatchford boasts a green building code, a district geoexchange energy sharing system, an abundance of amenities, fantastic transportation options, and NO homes will use natural gas in the heart of oil and gas territory!
In this premiere episode, we dive into the vision and witness how this extraordinary green community is thriving. In upcoming episodes, we'll chat with residents about why they chose to live there, what they love, and how the community is evolving. We'll also showcase a builder crafting fully net-zero homes and unveil the magic of heat pumps, the secret ingredient to heating this community of the future!
