Toronto Pedestrian Project

Focused on brainstorming ideas for the pedestrianization of more Toronto streets. Creating a pedestrian friendly environment is key to creating neighbourhoods which encourage people to make less trips with a car while also providing children and seniors a safe existence. To produce these environments, there are elements of design, political considerations, and financing strategies which must be understood and managed. 

Comprehensive Mobility Project

Creating an alternative transportation network in Toronto using the Dutch design principle of “Ontvlechten”, or, disentanglement. It suggests that different methods of completing the same trip should not necessarily take the same route.

Protection of Toronto Landmarks

Toronto is the economic, cultural, and immigration capital for the world’s tenth largest economy. Its history, culture, and landmarks must be protected or it risks losing its cultural appeal - the effects of which are both a sense of loss for established citizens and a lesser appeal for prospective migrants. This project seeks to create a portfolio of iconic views, sightlines, landmarks, and areas in Toronto that may not have heritage protection, UNESCO designations, or official recognition in any plans, but should. It is the Gooderheim, the TD Centre Plaza, the Grange, Yorkdale Mall, Skydome, and other landmarks which should be protected, and the views to and from them should also be protected. Below is a map with some of these locations and further down a list of them with descriptions, histories, and accompanying photos.
