Arcadis IBI Group and SLA Awarded David Crombie Park Revitalization Design Project in Downtown Toronto
Construction slated to begin in 2024 on major upgrade to culturally significant park, 便利设施和自行车基础设施
TORONTO, 5月3日, 2023) -一起, 关于联合投标提案, Arcadis IBI Group和位于哥本哈根的工作室SLA, are pleased to announce they have been selected by the City of Toronto to lead the detailed design implementation for the David Crombie Park Revitalization Project in the city’s downtown east side.
The revitalization of this culturally integral public park will strengthen its role as a major landmark for Toronto’s historic St. 劳伦斯社区, as well as support surrounding social infrastructure and entertainment areas, 包括酿酒厂区和St. 劳伦斯市场.
The linear park project will span nearly two hectares across seven blocks, making it one of the largest open space projects to take place in the City of Toronto over the last decade. The project also calls for Arcadis IBI and SLA to design new cycling infrastructure and streetscape elements to seamlessly connect The Esplanade with nearby Mill Street at the east end of the park.
“This is one of the most significant public realm projects in Toronto,” says Neno Kovacevic, Arcadis IBI城市设计与景观设计总监, David Crombie公园项目的负责人. “This project is about people, nature, the connections between them, and the city as a whole.”
“Our design will embrace and build on the legacy of David Crombie Park as an inviting and safe mix of public courtyard and linear park and enhance its social and ecological values, 不仅是为了社区,也是为了多伦多市,拉斯穆斯·阿斯楚普说, SLA的合作伙伴和设计负责人, 以及项目的设计主管.
“David Crombie Park and the adjacent street that runs the length of the park – The Esplanade – serve as the catalyst for these connections. 他们构成了支持当地社区的社会支柱, that provides the neighborhood its uniquely livable character and adds an essential cultural and social element to Toronto’s urban fabric,科瓦切维奇说.
Named after the City of Toronto mayor who helped oversee a focused community-building effort in the 1970s to turn a declining industrial area into a thriving mixed-use area, 大卫·克龙比公园一直是圣. 劳伦斯社区.
公园的新总体规划, which will build upon the conceptual design plan created in phase 1 of the project, 是老城区的重要组成部分. Lawrence-Distillery park district, as identified in the City of Toronto’s 市区公园和公共领域规划. The revitalization design is intended to address the end-of-life cycle of many of the park’s hard infrastructure elements, as well as to accommodate continuously increased use of the park due to ongoing commercial and residential intensification in the area.
The new design plan also aims to address the City’s sustainability goals through the application of Arcadis IBI’s dynamic carbon model, which will help minimize the project’s environmental impact by tracking carbon inputs and offsetting them through the sequestration of carbon outputs.
公园和自行车道的建设计划于2024年开始.
