This presentation will tell the story of the Aerospace Campus Master Plan, established with the guidance of DTAH for Canada Lands Company. Through a discussion of both current and future projects at Downsview Park, Chris and David will demonstrate how a landscape-focused vision can result in a successful process, product and enduring performance for both built and natural interventions.

Saturday Session 1, Track 2: Thru Fresh Eyes: Celebrating New Typologies of Open Space, Yvonne Battista, Brent Raymond and James Roche

Saturday Session 2, Track 2: Complete Streets: 20 Years On, Brent Raymond

The presentation will touch on a range of items: the basics of Complete Streets, what has worked and what hasn’t, the importance of context, and working with other professions and champions to make it happen, and the future of street design.
