Cyclists, families with young kids & dogs— people from all over the city access High Park along #ParksideDrive, an infamously unsafe street that is forecasted to be re-constructed a decade from now.
The community needs safer streets now.

A protected, bi-directional bike lane & more generous sidewalk space like this could make the west side of #ParksideDrive safer for all road users.

They finished paving the new protected bike lane running the length of Père Lachaise on Ave Gambetta 🥰🚲

The Dufferin Grove Community Project was completed The Dufferin Grove Community Project was completed over twenty years ago, but the problems of Dufferin Grove Park persist—there is still no relationship between the park and its adjacent streets. Along the park’s boundary with Havelock Street is a setback steel fence that creates isolated park margins. On the park’s Dufferin Street edge is an extraordinarily narrow sidewalk, a busy, narrow causeway that passes by the park indifferently. We proposed a linear perimeter park around Dufferin Grove that could intensify and engage the park’s internal elements. This new perimeter park included a new system of entangled pathways, tree groupings, seating, water features, and a storm water management pond.

Where should new housing in Ontario go? In his la Where should new housing in Ontario go? In his latest article for the Globe, Alex Bozikovic writes, “The future of the province is in cities. To pave over wetlands is to head in the wrong direction.” The Un-Avenues are zones where housing intensification should happen. The "Un-Avenues" are those north-south streets like Ossington and Dufferin - those arterials that buses barrel down, those roads that were systematically widened in the early 1950’s to pack in cars, those houses stripped of porches and front yards and street trees. The widened right-of-way imposed in the 1950’s can become re-fashioned boulevards of trees, safe cycling lanes, and wide sidewalks.

We’re excited to announce that our submission fo We’re excited to announce that our submission for the international Take Back the City design competition has been shortlisted! In the heart of #Belfast is 13-hectares of vacant, publicly-owned land. This Summer, Belfast’s Take Back the City coalition announced an architecture and urban design competition to generate sustainable, high-density housing solutions for this site. 🏡 Our submission, “Boundaries in the Making,” transforms this abandoned space into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly community of garden courtyard apartments. With a large degree of interconnection between multi-family units and a close-knit relationship to the ravine topography, this community represents a new model for collective living and shared outdoor space in Belfast. 🌳🚲 View our design at takebackthecity.ie/ (link in bio!) . . #GardenCourtyard #CoopHousing #SocialHousing #HousingCrisis #Belfast #NorthernIreland #TakeBackTheCity #SustainableDesign #SolarEnergy #CommunityBatteries #Architecture #UrbanDesign

Victoria Park Ave and Pharmacy Ave are both north- Victoria Park Ave and Pharmacy Ave are both north-south corridors in Toronto's #EastEnd that pass through Taylor-Massey Creek before connecting to the Danforth. Where these streets encounter the open green space, they become unbuilt, underutilized strips of roadway with no relationship to the Creek and no establishment of a public realm. These roads have tremendous potential for new development of affordable, high-density housing. Carefully placed residential towers, pedestrian-oriented streets, and new linkages integrated with existing neighbourhoods and the Creek could become new a prototype for intensifying urban areas along Toronto’s ravine space.
