The work of the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront highlights the links that exist between city and nature among people, the economy, health, and environmental sustainability. It promotes the ecosystem approach to achieve both environmental regeneration and economic recovery. It suggests new ways of doing things; round-table processes to bring agencies, the public, and business together; integration of environmental and land use planning; and partnerships to get things done.Regeneration suggests ways to regenerate the waterfront by:- Cleaning up the rivers and Lake Ontario;- Establishing greenways and trails throughout the bioregion;- Protecting and restoring habitats;- Enhancing sense of place through historical connections, social diversity, attractive vistas, and good design;- Stimulating the regional economy through new green infrastructure, environmentally friendly enterprise, transportation, and waterfront housing.Includes:- Index;- Useful figures and color photos; and- Bibliography |
