THE MAKING OF A WORLD-CLASS WATERFRONT
For decades, the Lakeview Village pier was closed off from the public, used as an industrial pier to transport coal from ships to the power plant. After its demolition, the coal plant left behind a unique one-kilometre-long pier that will become an important catalyst in reconnecting Mississauga with its waterfront. Once complete, the newly imagined pier will offer panoramic views and a unique waterside experience.
CRAFTING COMMUNITY: HOW LAKEVIEW VILLAGE IS REDEFINING NEIGHBOURHOOD DESIGN
What does it mean to build a complete community? It means creating something that enhances the quality of life of each resident – from the physical to the mental. It means providing a diversity of housing that will accommodate people at all ages and stages of life, and providing a wide range of employment opportunities, amenities, and services all within a 15-to-20-minute walk from a person’s front door.
DESIGNING A PLACE TO LIVE AND LOVE IN THE WINTER
Winter poses a unique challenge for Canadians, especially those in the Golden Horseshoe. The weather is damp and often wildly cold. With climate change we're seeing less snow and more rain. And some cities have struggled to adequately invest in supporting appropriate placemaking and community initiatives that encourage connection from January through March.
