Fostering inclusivity and well-being on the Toronto Waterfront.
More info on partners working on this roadmapLet’s All Meet by the Lake: Inclusivity and Well-Being on Toronto’s Waterfront
The initiative led by Toronto Metropolitan University explores the potential for expanding the definition of design excellence to include critical issues such as accessibility, equity, well-being, and inclusion, specifically in the context of Toronto’s waterfront. The analysis involves various stakeholders and experts. It aims to explore the experiences of individuals with diverse abilities in public spaces and to use these insights to enhance design practices.
The roadmap delves into several key areas: it analyzes award-winning housing projects to assess how well they address accessibility and inclusion, it examines the barriers and opportunities for health and well-being in public spaces along the waterfront, and it investigates the effectiveness of current public engagement methods, particularly with marginalized populations.
