May 11, 2026
Leading global professional services company GHD and global nature-based design studio SLA have, together with Waterfront Toronto, unveiled the design for the public realm and streetscapes of Ookwemin Minising – Toronto’s new island community in the Port Lands.
Rooted in the team’s visionary “Growing Streets” concept, the design places streets and public spaces at the beginning of city-making – shaping not only how the neighbourhood looks, but how it lives, grows and connects.
