“Applying cultural safety can also help us to ask ourselves: Whom did we forget in the design of a place?” Read Eric Turcotte & Dr. Leela Viswanathan's article "Safer Public Spaces Through Inclusive Practices" in the latest Plan Canada. @CIP_ICU https://t.co/9M0b3hJtHr

Today's top-trending article in @Urban_Toronto profiles the pivot from #office to #residential at 350 Bloor St E, one of several similar applications we are leading.

[UrbanToronto @Urban_Toronto]

A revised plan for 350 Bloor Street East has now seen the 63-storey tower drop its office space and add affordable #housing instead! #Toronto #architecture #realestate #development https://t.co/HZuEhzQxrc

But will Bill 109 actually live up to this tall order, or does it create more issues than it purports to fix? We brought together a range of planning and development industry experts to weigh in on Ontario’s evolving planning approvals process. https://t.co/4eBMVXJDpi

[Urban Strategies @UrbStrat]

The Province of #Ontario’s "More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022", has turned the process for planning approvals in Ontario on its head, with the objective of facilitating speedier approvals to get shovels in the ground faster for much-needed #housing.
