DETAILS: Unlocking Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC): How to Capture the Value of a “26-hour City” builds on the momentum of the October 2 town hall where 200 participants from across Canada, the United States and Helsinki, Finland shared their professional viewpoints during a 3-hour brainstorming session.
With the LRT coming in 2024, the Uptown Brampton Hurontario-Steeles area is experiencing substantial transformation into a high-density, mixed-use, family-oriented, healthy, and walkable transit-oriented community, taking shape through the combined interests of provincial, regional, municipal, private sector and community interests.
