Design Review Panels are used successfully by many cities in Canada and internationally to improve the design quality of buildings and public spaces. Panel members are recognized design and planning professionals who provide expert, objective advice to City staff as part of the development approvals process. Vancouver has used a similar type of design review panel which has helped the city receive world-wide recognition for its smart and attractive planning.
Toronto’s City Planning Division is proposing a pilot project to test the feasibility of a Design Review Panel for Toronto. City staff are inviting the public to learn more about this new initiative and provide your input. There is more info to be found on the Planning department’s website.
