    Notes & News Notes & News www.vivanext.com April 2012 Edition News New Viva Bus Depot in Markham The City of Vaughan’s downtown core will undergo a transformation over the next several years. Encompass- ing 125-acres, development plans include oce and residential towers, shopping and entertainment complexes, plenty of green spaces and pedestrian walkways, and, of course, vivaNext rapid transit connec- tions. In recognition of all the exciting changes to come, Vaughan City Council determined that a change of name – from Vaughan Corporate Centre – was in order to better reect the true vision and future of this key hub. This summer, the City held a contest where people were encouraged to submit their suggestions. Almost 1,600 entries were received, including Central Vaughan, Vaughan Gateway, Vaughan Mosaic Centre and Vaughan Nexus. In the end, Vaughan Metropolitan Centre was chosen as the winning entry by the City subcommittee. Davis Drive Rapidway Construction - Ready, Set, GO! Last year we accomplished a lot on Davis Drive, and as of this spring we’ll be moving full speed ahead on construc- tion to build the rapidway. Starting soon, you’ll see a lot of utility companies along the corridor working to relocate gas, power, telecommunications, etc. Later this summer, we’ll be working on the Keith Bridge near the Tannery and doing some work near Southlake hospital. Watch for updates about all of this work, with more details to come. The Davis Drive rapidway will be complete in 2015, and we’re bringing an exceptional rapid transit system that will connect to other parts of York Region and help shape Newmarket’s growth.

  • Aga Khan Museum and Ismaili Centre As Alternative Planning Model for Mosque Development
    Aga Khan Museum and Ismaili Centre as alternative planning model for mosque development. Haris S. Khan A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. April 12, 2021 ABSTRACT Multiculturalism is widely celebrated in Toronto as a cornerstone of our society. When multiculturalism moves outside festivals and food, groups make spatial claims of citizenship and identity, the experience is somewhat different. There is no doubt that some racialized minorities have fared well in the Greater Toronto Area. Their growth is no longer confined to low-income enclaves within the City of Toronto but into city suburbs. This growth comes with the increased demand for spatial citizenship through culturally suited social, recreational, commercial and religious space. It is here where the experience of multiculturalism changes. The inherently political and contentious process of land use planning and its response to individual groups needs for certain type of developments is the broad focus of this paper. The paper looks at how the practice of planning in the Greater Toronto Area has responded to social diversity in cities by studying the specific process of mosque development for Muslim Canadians. Mosque development has faced challenges in the planning arena through staunch opposition that often hides behind legitimate planning technicalities to express the personal distaste for a group of people. My goal was to understand the role of planning departments in recognizing and responding to the rise of these conflicts in land use development.
