The City of Mississauga has grown from a collection of small communities into one of
Canada's largest and most distinct cities. As Mississauga becomes more intensely
developed, it becomes increasingly important for us to think about how our buildings, and the
spaces around them, are designed; how they both visually and functionally integrate into their
surrounding neighbourhoods, and how they will inspire others to make a significant contribution
to our City.
The City of Mississauga established the Mississauga Urban Design Panel in 2007.
The role of the Mississauga Urban Design Panel is to provide professional, objective advice to
City staff on matters of design that affect the public realm, architecture, context sensitivity
and sustainability along with other matters. The Panel is made up of a number of
independent design professionals who volunteer their expertise operating in a peer review
capacity, for various development proposals submitted by the Planning and Building Department
for approval.
| The objective is to create a safe, well-designed city with
interesting architecture and a strong downtown core, complemented by communities which retain
their own identity, yet contribute to an overall strong city identity. |
