Tower Renewal Blog

CUG+R at Urban Design London

Cities internationally are exploring the challenges and opportunities of modern tower blocks and 21st century urban regeneration.

Next week Graeme Stewart and Ya’el Santopinto of ERA Architects and the Centre for Urban Growth and Renewal will take part in a series of conversations focused on urban regeneration at Urban Design London (UDL) and Oxford University.  UDL is a non profit organization that connects design practitioners and provides up to date information about policy, research, and best practice.

They will have an opportunity to present the vision of Tower Renewal occurring across the province of Ontario and learn about other approaches being taken in cities around the world.

Discussions will include experts from multiple disciplines, and topics will range from estate regeneration to urban narratives as well as a reflection of the evolving approaches to public space over time.

Stay tuned for the outcomes that arise from this exciting international discussion and see how Ontario’s tower renewal experience sits alongside others.
