LUSAIL DISTRICT

Urban Question

The state of Qatar is thriving to meet the infrastructure requirements to host the Fifa World Cup 2022. As part of the state pursuits, a plan to add a significant reserve to residential developments in the sistainable city of Lusail. Buildings, landscape and municipal networks areas were expected to meet the Global Sustainability Assessment System GSAS - a sustainability assessment system, developed by Gulf Organization for research and Development in Qatar GORD that adopts sustainable measures to metigate and adapt to arid zones. Meanwhile the deign should be contemporary in style and architectural form, it was expected to preserve the heritage of the state.

Land Use Strategy

The district is designed to be the home of more than 200,000 residents with further significant employment provided by a range of offices, leisure, entertainment, retail and education facilities. The development incorporated the following elements:

• Residential: Luxury villas & apartments.

• Community services: Civic offices, schools, clinics, mosques, parks and open spaces.

• Hospitality: Hotels, residents’ clubs.

• Entertainment: Arenas, stadia, theme parks and Water-related venue activties.

• Commercial Development: Open retail (boutique shops & restaurants), local/ neighbourhood shops, corporate offices, mixed use development.

• Amenities: beaches, golf, marina berths.

Open Space

Strategy

The urban plan has considered open space, climate-controlled pedestrian streets and services by entertainment attractions and access to parks, recreation areas and waterfront in the creation of superb liveable districts and Neighbourhoods.

Transportation Strategy

Lusail features a range of city-wide transport and infrastructure initiatives to ensure its seamless connection with greater Doha and elsewhere. This includes LRT tram, bus and ferry networks, as well as facilities for cyclists and pedetrians. This transit network was designed to provide interconnected circulation between home, work, open space and recreation areas. Proposed road network will form the spine for its utility infrastructure, by incorporating its electrical, water supply, surface water drainage, irrigation, sewerage and telecommunications distribution networks and systems. All services will be available at the boundary limits of each subdivision parcel.

East Don Development

Project Objectives

To meet the current Official Plan residential intensification targets within the urban area. The targets increase incrementally • 2022-2026: 42 per cent and • 2027-2031: 44 per cent.

The Official Plan policy directions required that urban expansion support adopted City directions with respect to climate change, growth management, transportation, and the efficient use of infrastructure. To achieve these policy directions, urban expansion areas had to:

Development Summary

• Be at locations that will generate high transit ridership and round out some suburban communities first and extend others on new expansion lands

• Create complete communities on new expansion lands

• Require a secondary plan process, similar to current CDPs

• Avoid Agricultural Resource Areas and achieve an overall density of 36 units per net hectare in each community and provide a minimum share of 10% apartments

redevelopment of the East Harbour lands (“the Development”) represents a generational citybuilding opportunity that will transform a former industrial site into a significant new transit-oriented district and mixed use community, supported by high-quality public realm and open space network, range of amenities and community facilities.

• Policy that requires a mix of built forms to avoid the cumulative impacts generated by high concentrations of narrow-frontage, front-driveway housing types and establish minimum thresholds of service

Scope of Work

Led the project from proposal stages, Site nalysis, zonning provisions, compliance with policies and legeslations through conceptual design, construction, monitoring, evaluation and post operation. Directed a team of urban analyzers to collect primary data, take photographs, while Stantec studio has taken responsibility of land syrvey and mapping. I was the pont ofcontact and the coordinator of tasks of design development: I was responsible for coordinating technical and analysis teams’ input and output, data management, communicating and connecting stakeholders, facilitating meetings and reviewing design and validating process efficiency and reporting progress and results to the higher management.

Data were collected form dfferent governmental parties, like InfraStructure Ontario, Municipality of Toronto, and Toronto Community Housing. Social, demographic, economic and environmental to comprehend how could the retrofitting meet the evolved requirements of the official plan, places to grow act and Ontario’ provencial policy statement. In taking photographs and videographs as primary data, and synthatizing literature review in form of governmental reports and statistics, a full picture of the challenges were illustrated. One of the challenges was that the measurement of impact of high-rise development on the existing heat island effect, which was addressed by using services of a research and analysis firm specialized in infra-red heat mapping to detect the negative impact. The outcome had been entered into our design input to enhance the design efficiency. Accordingly, a conceptual design was developed, and revised to make sure it alligned very

well with the defined challenges and provisions of the analysis stage’ outcome. Three ateliers were organized to show case the project to clients, stakeholders, and to receive feedback and provide answers to inquiries and concerns. In the construction stage, continuous monitoring and environmental evaluations have taken place and discepencies were reported and rectified.

Development at East Don has been strategically distributed across the district, with the greatest building heights located closest to the Transit Hub and along the Broadview spine, consistent with the approved planning framework. Office and residential space will be layered above ground floor retail and animation uses, and will be accommodated in a variety of tower forms to meet a diversity of tenant and resident needs and to provide a distinctive built form character for the district.

Previous Master Plan distributed building heights across the site to establish a height peak at the commercial core of the district, and to enable a gradual transition in scale down to the edges of the site.

Structuring Framework

The Mixed Use Master Plan has redistributed office heights across the lands to intensify certain nodes, particularly along the Broadview civic spine, adjacent to the Transit Hub

The Mixed Use Master Plan establishes a development and public realm framework that is intended to guide the redevelopment of the 15 hectare. The structuring elements identified are largely consistent with the development framework established in the Unilever Precinct Secondary Plan, with the exception of the addition of mixed-use buildings into the district.

The structuring elements identified below are largely consistent with the development framework established in the Unilever Precinct Secondary Plan, with the exception of the addition of mixed-use buildings into the district.

East Don River sits amid a dynamic and evolving neighbourhood context, with new mixed use communities emerging across the east side of the downtown and along the waterfront, all within walking distance of the site. As a former industrial property, East Don is set to benefit from major infrastructure investments that will significantly improve access to the site, unlock its redevelopment potential, and provide connectivity with surrounding neighbourhoods.

Port

Lands Planning Framework

In response to the generational city building infrastructure that is planned and being delivered in Toronto’s Port Lands, a comprehensive planning framework has been established to guide the long-term growth of the area. This planning framework for the Port Lands has been established through a collaborative initiative between the City of Toronto and Waterfront Toronto, which investigates land uses, densities, urban structure, street networks as well as the parks and open spaces necessary to transform the Port Lands into a new mixed use, vibrant and livable waterfront community.

The previous Master Plan was developed in May of 2018 in parallel with a City-led study for the broader Unilever Precinct, a 25-hectare planning area which included adjacent lands around the East Don River site. On the basis of the May 2018 Master Plan and the City-led Unilever Precinct Plan, Toronto City Council approved an Official Plan Amendment for the area, and a new Zoning By-law in July 2018, which secured a flexible framework to support the development of up to 926,000 m2 of non-residential space.

Structuring Framework:

1- Connected Transit Hub 2- Street Network

The Port Lands Planning Framework identifies the lands immediately south of the Subject Site as Mixed Use Residential and the lands immediately west as Productions, Interactive and Creative Mixed Use. The Port Lands Planning Framework also identified and brought forward a series of modifications to the 2003 Central Waterfront Secondary Plan (CWSP), which outlined the initial policy directions for growth and development of Toronto’s waterfront and Port Lands. Portions of the CWSP remain under appeal at the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal.

Through the Port Lands Planning Framework, the CWSP and the ongoing Port Lands Acceleration Initiative, the long-term vision for the Port Lands includes a diverse, transit-supportive and mixed-use community, supporting a range of creative industries and employment uses.

3- Broadview COmmercial Spine 4- Residential Buildings at Key Locations 5- Critical flood protection 6- Interconnected Parks & Open Space Network

The Tall Building Design Guidelines were adopted by Council in May 2013. The Guidelines consolidate the former Design Criteria for the Review of Tall Building Proposals (2006) and the Downtown Tall Building Vision and Performance Standards Design Guidelines (2013) to establish a unified set of measures to evaluate tall building development applications in the City.

The document states that, as guidelines, they should be afforded some flexibility in their application, particularly when looked at cumulatively. The Guidelines should also be read together with the Official Plan, applicable Zoning By-laws, Secondary Plans and other applicable policies, standards or guidelines.

The Guidelines provide direction around four broad themes: Site Context, Site Organization, Tall Building Design and Pedestrian Realm. Among the most relevant guidelines are those relating to (with exceptions for very tall buildings), as well as tower separation distances of 25 metres on the same site and 12.5 metres from the side and rear property

3. Expanding the City’s Green Space Network

The redevelopment of East Harbour will significantly enhance the local and regional green space system. Open spaces at East Harbour will expand on and connect to the surrounding park network which runs along the Don River valley and along the waterfront.

4. Celebrating Broadview Avenue as a Major Corridor Through the City

Broadview Avenue is an important artery through the east side of the City, currently connecting from Eastern Avenue to Danforth Avenue. The planned extension of Broadview southward through the East Harbour district will reinforce the corridor as a major civic spine. Broadview will be the focal point for development in East Harbour, envisioned as a signature street supported by an attractive and generous public realm. In addition, with the delivery of the future streetcar along the Broadview Ave extension, the corridor will help connect residents, workers and visitors from the future Port Lands with East Harbour, and the broader city’s transit network.

A detailed review of how the development conforms with the Tall Buildings Guidelines is contained within Section 4 of this report, which analyzes, tower and base building design including tower floorplates, separation distances, site organization and the overall massing strategy. In general, the development meets the intent of Tall Building Design Guidlines

The Guidelines provide direction around four broad themes: Site Context, Site Organization, Tall Building Design and Pedestrian Realm. Among the most relevant guidelines are those relating to a maximum floorplate size of 750 m2 (with exceptions for very tall buildings), as well as tower separation distances of 25 metres on the same site and 12.5 metres from the side and rear property lines.

Terrebonne

Urban Question

The largest eco-responsible project in Canada, a development of an area of 1220 hectares is located in Terrebonne, North east of the greater metropolitain area of Montréal with 40% of which are protected to create a Biodiversity Corridor. The development is designed to welcome more than 35,000 residents without compromising the natural habitat. Financial uncertainties due - in particular - to inflation and rising interest rates required an evolutionary urban planning and a design that offers a solution to the exponential increase of carbon footprint, and contributes to the climate change challenge. A design that reduces travel needs and promotes sustainable transportation which positevly enhances the real estate industry which will benefit from the relatively good performance while preserving the environment.

Design Concept

The design meets the principles of sustainable development. The development party is reflected in the choice of sustainable materials, in situ rainfall management, increased space for pedestrians and cyclists, an increase in the quality of life and an offer of activities related to history and heritage.

Design Process

Data collected form dfferent governmental parties, stakeholders, governmentl reports, cycling agencies, Greater Montréal Metropolitain Area, and Montréal Community Housing. Social, demographic, economic and environmental analysis has been established to assess best approaches and highest profit on the operation long term. A drone was used to capture the present site conditions and major intersections and served as our primary data collection. Literature has been reviewed and best practices were studied and an approach was determined with the help of Université de Québec researchers. Statistics Canada was contacted and up-to-date data were released regarding demographics and social aspect. Société des assurance des automobieles de Québec released also data concerning fatalities and accidents involving pedestrians and cyclists over the last 10 years.

Design Concept and Responding to Challenges

There were two main stream challenges in this project. First was concerned with growth management policy directions and intensification strategy-related that required a minimum per centage of residential units with three or more bedrooms for certain types of development.

Second challenge have been withdrawn from residents participants who were able to share some of their input and fedback in a series of community envolvement and public participation sessions. their ideas were illustrated in a number of design proposals and expressed concerns over development of parks. The main issues that have been identified include:

• Accessibility for all components of the park;

• Safety related to traffic and uses;

• Tranquility related to the park’s programming;

• Maintenance and cleanliness;

• Maintenance of existing uses (skatepark and children’s playground).
