Prince’s Foundation : Ellon
The Sustainable Growth of Ellon event took place on 14 Jun 2007, organised by the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment. Hank Dittmar, chief executive of the Prince’s Foundation, said Ellon had become “a dormitory town” serving Aberdeen “rather than a place in its own right”.
The Prince’s Trust invited architect Ray Gindroz, chairman of Urban Design Associates, Pittsburgh, to join the workshop and outline a future model for the town. Mr Gindroz identified numerous weaknesses in the town’s design, like cul-de-sacs with limited town centre access and large-scale housing developments rather than proper neighbourhoods.
