Using a neighbourhood in Don Mills as a case study, this will test novel approaches to land use that are utopian, to achieve a utility-end. The intent is to be academic in land use planning, working at a grassroot level, and challenging current notions of zoning and land ownership. The end objective is to create critical urban nodes, while addressing climate changes, the housing crisis and urban infrastructure; working through the lens of politicians, lawyers, urban planners and architects.

Learning Objectives

To re-examine Critical Urban Nodes in the local context of Don Mills
Challenge current notions of Zoning, Land Use, and Development
Providing, saving and enhancing key community and urban infrastructure
Can we address housing and saving the Ontario Science Centre?
