The Eau Claire Plaza in Calgary has officially opened its doors as a central piece of the city's riverfront revitalization. Led by DIALOG, the redesigned urban space aims to facilitate community gatherings with features such as a misting water feature, an urban beach, and spacious pedestrian zones. The redesign integrates with surrounding infrastructure projects, enhancing accessibility and supporting both large events and quiet leisure times. This venture involved community consultations, including Indigenous groups, to make it both a functional and culturally relevant civic space.
