“市区公园和公共领域计划为多伦多核心市区的转型提供了富有远见的蓝图，它从很大程度上依赖于公园、公共空间和街道景观的发展。这项综合性的计划能够在不同的规模下发挥作用，充分利用潜藏的机遇来重塑公众生活。计划提出了五个变革性的思路：“核心圈”重新构想了城市周围的山谷、悬崖和岛屿景观；“宏伟街道”重构了街道网络；“海岸线缝合”重新将市区与海滨相连；“公园区”则将公园绿地设置在城区的核心地带。这是一项大胆又复杂的、拥有强大力量的计划，它为成长中的城市描绘了可持续的未来。” 2019年评审委员会“The Downtown Parks and Public Realm Plan provides a visionary roadmap for the transformation of Torontos downtown core, an approach that relies strongly on the development of parks, public space, and verdant streetscapes. This comprehensive plan works at all scales, taking advantage of both iconic experiences and hidden opportunities to reimagine civic life. Five big ideas animate it: reimagining the valleys, bluffs, and islands that surround the city as a Core Circle; creating a network of Great Streets; reconnecting downtown to the waterfront; placing parks at the heart of distinct districts; and stitching small local spaces into the city fabric. Its a bold, complex plan of enormous power, capable of spurring a sustainable future for a growing city.” 2019 Awards Jury来自ASLA对gooood的分享。TOcore: Downtown Parks and Public Realm Plan byPUBLIC WORK Office for Urban Design & Landscape Architecture项目概述PROJECT STATEMENT市区公园和公共领域计划解决了多伦多目前面临的最迫切的问题之一：如何重新构想公共领域，以提高迅速发展的城市核心地带的生活质量？市区公园和公共领域计划是多伦多市中心综合发展规划的一部分，它为在已经成熟的城市结构中建立互联的公园及公共领域网络提供了方向和框架，以支持未来的发展。该计划由“核心圈”、“宏伟街道”、“海岸线缝合”、“公园区”和“本地场所”这5个变革性的构想为基础，以整体性的空间规划措施将城市最具标志性的风景展现出来，同时挖掘了潜藏在市区内部的发展机会。该计划提出了思考城市公共领域和景观的新方法，并就如何设计、维护和使用公园、街道和其他开放空间进行了策略性的对话，旨在探讨如何支持城市生活，并通过大胆而创新的方式将遗产传承给后代。The Downtown Parks and Public Realm Plan addresses one of the most pressing questions facing Toronto: how can we re-imagine the public realm to enhance quality of life within a rapidly intensifying urban core?As one section of a comprehensive plan for the growth and evolution of Downtown Toronto, the Parks and Public Realm Plan establishes a vision and framework to achieve an expanded, improved and connected parks and public realm network within the Downtowns mature urban fabric to support future growth.

It explores the co-existence and interplay of Torontos landscape and urban morphology: the pre-settlement landscape features of the ravines, islands and bluffs and the colonial grid of streets laid over the landscape in the late 18th century. Today, these exist as complementary layers. The Plan leverages the relationship between landscape and grid to offer a new lens for imagining our civic identity, through our common ground the public realm. This large-scale contribution re-discovers our landscapes and civic streets as the basis for a significant transformation of the Downtowns public realm.RE-BALANCING THE PUBLIC REALMThe Plan addresses one of the most pressing questions facing Toronto: how can we re-imagine the public realm to enhance quality of life within a rapidly intensifying urban core?The Plan establishes a vision and framework to achieve an expanded, improved and connected parks and public realm network within the Downtowns mature urban fabric to support a doubling of the Downtown population over the next 25 years. It presents new ways of thinking about the public realm and landscape in the city, and provides a tactical dialogue about how we design, maintain and use our parks, streets and other open spaces to support urban life and achieve a bold and transformative legacy for future generations.BACKGROUNDThe Plan presents a comprehensive vision to achieve a more desirable and sustainable parks and open space system in Downtown Toronto (1770 ha) and the surrounding area of influence. It has been developed to support the implementation of Toronto City Councils recently adopted Downtown Plan which, as part of Torontos Official Plan, provides a blueprint to manage growth, sustain liveability, achieve complete communities and ensure there is space for the economy to grow. The Downtown Plan is a 25-year vision that sets the direction for the city centre as the cultural, civic, retail and economic heart of Toronto and as a great place to live.To safeguard liveability, infrastructure must keep pace with growth. Parks and open spaces are central pieces of infrastructure and equitable access to parkland is crucial to support urban life, particularly in high-growth, high-density areas like Downtown Toronto. The Plan examines the need for parkland within the context of the Downtown, having consideration for the range of parks and open spaces that exist within the boundaries of the Downtown, projected population growth, built form directions and the needed expansion of the public realm. It integrates key provincial policy directions related to achieving complete communities, including expanded access to an appropriate supply of safe, publicly-accessible open spaces, parks and trails.ENGAGEMENTThe Plan is based on the work of a diverse collaboration and careful examination of the best available information about Downtown Torontos current conditions and trends. It is informed by the lived experience of residents, workers and stakeholders who shared their ideas and aspirations for the future through a multi-faceted engagement process, which included interactive online tools, pop-ups, intercept surveys, lecture series, public meetings, public expo events, stakeholder focus groups, workshops and walkshops, and targeted engagement with Indigenous peoples.METHODS OF ANALYSISA comprehensive parkland provision assessment informed the Plan with an in-depth analysis of existing and future parkland needs based on estimates of population and employment growth in the Downtown. A Public Space Public Life Survey, the first of its kind in Toronto, established a baseline of how public space is being used in the Downtown and infuses the Plan with knowledge of how to better design a city for people. The Public Space Public Life Survey provided key findings and trends for the whole of the core, as well as site-specific highlights and recommendations for the 16 survey zones, which encompassed 50 survey streets and spaces in the Downtown. A companion document, the Downtown Parks and Public Realm Plan: Public Space Public Life Survey provides an overview of the Public Space Public Life Survey in Torontos Downtown, and offers a guide for monitoring the survey zones to measure how the implementation of the Plan improves the experience of the public realm in the Downtown.FIVE TRANSFORMATIVE IDEASThe Plan is based on a set of integrated spatial transformations that build upon assets in and adjacent to the core. Together, the ideas uncover the most iconic landscape experiences of the city and identify hidden opportunities within the Downtowns urban fabric. The Five Transformative Ideas include:The Core Circle: Re-imagining the valleys, bluffs and islands encircling the Downtown as a fully interconnected 900-hectare landscape system and continuous pedestrian and cycling route providing an immersive natural experience.Great Streets: Enhancing the unique characteristics of Downtowns most emblematic streets and making them outstanding civic places and connectors.Shoreline Stitch: Re-connecting the Downtown to its waterfront and linking the east and west Core Circle landscapes.Park Districts: Re-imagining Downtowns distinct districts with parks at their hearts.Local Places: Re-envisioning local public spaces to better support community life and expand the utility of our public realm system.The Transformative Ideas are presented in the form of an illustrative framework plan, and formalized as a set of initiatives, actions and delivery mechanisms.THREE SCALES OF OPERATIONThe Plan operates across three scales to provide a comprehensive framework to achieve an expanded, improved and connected parks and public realm network within Downtown Torontos intensifying urban fabric.The Regional Scale re-imagines our fundamental landscapes and major streets to reshape the setting of the Downtown through our common ground the public realm. At this scale, the Core Circle and Great Streets explore the co-existence and interplay of Torontos natural and urban systems: the landscape features of the ravines, islands and bluffs and the colonial grid of streets. Also at this scale, the Shoreline Stitch aims to overcome barriers associated with transportation corridors to better connect the Downtown with its waterfront and link the east and west Core Circle landscapes.The District Scale consists of pa
