Urban Design Guidelines, 2017

Project Facts

    Growing Up: Planning for Children in New Vertical Communities focuses on how cities can better accommodated families in high-rise dominated, dense urban cores by exploring the needs of families at three scales: the unit, the building and the neighbourhood. The findings of these studies provide strategies and guidelines to help connect high-rise developments to the people, communities and cities they are a part of. Completed for the City of Toronto alongside Urban Strategies, the study aims to support the growing number of families living in buildings with five or more storeys and offers a comprehensive approach to building a child-friendly city.
