GUIDELINES FOR THE REURBANISATION OF METRO TORONTO

DATE 1990 - 1991
CLIENT Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto

We were retained to develop a policy framework that would guide redevelopment decisions over the next 20 years.  We concluded that by encouraging a mix of uses, gradually increasing densities and improving public spaces around transit stations and along main streets, the Region could realize its objectives: shorten commuting distances, capitalize on underutilized land and curb urban sprawl.  This evolutionary process of redevelopment involves more than simply intensifying land uses, and we termed it “reurbanisation”.
