FOR THE GOOD OF THE YONGE EGLINTON GROWTH CENTRE
City Planning has recently written a prescription for Good Planning, which appears in its recently proposed area-planning tool, the Development Permit System.
One wonders why this prescription for Good Planning is not current practice within the Yonge Eglinton Growth Centre, where an extraordinary growth spiral is underway – without the benefit of a comprehensive planning framework.
Furthermore, it begs the question...
If good area-planning is not being practiced here where the need is obvious, then, can City Planning be relied upon to deliver its good area-planning prescription, either here or anywhere?
Conclusion: Whether Yonge Eglinton's planning is improved by amending the existing Secondary Plan, or by undertaking a specific Development Permit System solution-exercise, or any other process... It is imperative to see Good Planning and development management is exercised, and in particular: commensurate with the degree of intensification.
