One option would split the ward at Bronson Avenue, a second at Kent Street, and three others at O’Connor Street–despite the consul- tants saying that preserving “geographic communities of interest” was a prime consid- eration in the review. The new ward boundar- ies will come into effect for the next city elections, in fall 2022, and would be in ef- fect until 2030 or 2034. City Council will vote on the con- sultants’ final recommenda- tions this winter.

  • The Small-Er House Design Scheme by Elie Bourget a Thesis
    The Small-er House Design Scheme by Elie Bourget A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Elie Bourget 2017 Author’s declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract There is a conflict taking place between regional and community interests. This tension is nothing new. Often times this conflict is borne out of urban renewal schemes and major infrastructure interventions in core neighbourhoods. As the ‘back to the city’ trend increases however, these conflicts are more and more likely to push into first-ring and postwar suburbs. With intensification policy, like with urban renewal schemes of old, it is the small things that get lost in the shuffle. In Ottawa, Canada, this conflict is being fought over character; sun, trees, parking, landscaping, setbacks, and affordability. These are not the most glamorous aspects of architectural design and many would argue change is inevitable. But if these characteristics were in fact founding tenets of a residential community, then policy makers ought make every effort to protect them as they set and pursue intensification targets. Unfortunately these low-density residential streets have fallen into a policy blind-spot and city planners are currently scrambling to refine new bylaws aimed at curbing invasive, or excessive, developments. So how do we add more people to these neighbourhoods without the wholesale replacement of the existing housing stock? For the suburb of Overbrook the answer may be to take a page out of the 50’s and go small, extra small.
