Fast Company reports on the City of Toronto’s recent approval of our DOWNSVIEW FRAMEWORK PLAN – the largest urban redevelopment project in North America that we are delivering together with our clients Northcrest Developments and Canada Lands Company / Société Immobilière du Canada: “The SLA vision for the site includes a commitment to a City Nature design and more green infrastructure. A quarter of the airport turned into parkland, and the planned stormwater system will rely on landscaping and more porous parkland to absorb stormwater, as opposed to the traditional system of massive pipes and drains. The proposal also calls for a 15-minute city approach, with bike lanes and pedestrian paths interspersed within the larger development.” Read more about DOWNSVIEW in FastComapny here: https://bit.ly/3yNhoSW DOWNSVIEW is designed together with our friends KPMB Architects, Henning Larsen, and Urban Strategies Inc.

The commitment to green infrastructure and a 15-minute city approach is truly commendable. Excited to see how this project will set a new standard for urban redevelopment in North America!
