Canada's Urban Waterfront
CANADA’S URBAN WATERFRONT WATERFRONT CULTURE AND HERITAGE INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN PART I - CENTRAL WATERFRONT PREPARED FOR THE CULTURE DIVISION, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE AND TOURISM DEPARTMENT, CITY OF TORONTO BY ERA ARCHITECTS INC. AND JEFF EVENSON 2001 The Culture and Heritage Infrastructure Plan presents a context for implementing a waterfont vision centred on cultural resources, a vision which anticipates the revitalization of Toronto’s waterfront under the direction of all three levels of government. These resources include a web of experiences reflecting the diversity of Toronto’s past, present and future. It is our goal to showcase Toronto as an imaginative and creative model of civic identity for 21st century urban Canada. Our Plan includes culture and heritage as essential lenses through which to view future private and public investment. It suggests a rationale for development that affirms a focus on public life and the lived experience of the city. The Culture and Heritage Infrastructure Plan provides a platform on which to structure initiatives, identify projects and manage implementation strategies. While the Plan identifies some important next steps and makes a number of general recommendations, it does not propose one grand cultural initiative. Rather, the Plan identifies a framework of opportunities for the private sector, foundations, all three levels of government and the culture and heritage communities to develop specific initiatives focused by the Plan’s vision. Yours sincerely, Managing Director, Culture Division
