The RAIC and the CNV would like to invite you to a public dialogue with leading Canadian urban designers on Best High Street Designs. The public spaces that small businesses often provide is where neighbours create community vibrancy + connections; it is one of the most effective competitive strategies for success in a global market. Public space design excellence sets the stage for unique city experiences, aka, "sense of place", embracing local shops and services.

Future proofing for changing  technologies in the small business  environment,  which includes e-retail, autonomous vehicles + deliveries, plus an overheated property market, it requires streetscape design savvy to create "outdoor public living rooms" that are loved + always busy  as well as progressive tax policies. Find out what urban design ingredients make for the animated streetscapes that demonstrate city living at its best!
