What you need to know
Public plazas have a vital role in public life. They support:
- Celebrations and community events
- Social and neighbourly interaction
- Civic expression
These vibrant spaces also support local businesses and encourage sustainable modes of transportation like walking, cycling, and transit.
We have a number of neighbourhood plazas spread across the city. We take a tactical urbanism approach to creating some new public space.
We transform roads and streets or underused spaces, taking them from pavement, and through incremental design upgrades convert road space into people places.
