Lower Don Lands project receives sustainable development award

Inside Toronto

The new development, one aspect of Waterfront Toronto's 8000-hectare central waterfront transformation, recently received the 2008 Royal Architecture Institute of Canada's (RAIC) Sustainable Development Award. The award is designed to recognize the role urban design and architectural excellence play in maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in Canadian cities. The award judges chose the Lower Don Lands project because of its ecologically based and environmentally sensitive approach, which provides a long-term evolutionary strategy for sustainable development.
