So this has a grass boulevard between the street and the sidewalk and another one between the sidewalk and the retail units. With that and a short 3 storey podium, this is going to be a complete failure at urbanizing this stretch of Hurontario. Say what you want about the lazy architecture at 7 City Centre in Vaughan, but it treats the street in a much more urban way - hard surface from street to building face, a higher podium, and even parallel parking. Still room for improvement (placement of street trees, unnecessarily large sight triangles, etc.) but it's going to be more successful than Uptown Mississauga from a planning point of view.

There are plenty of examples around the world of big streets with lots of lanes of traffic that are magnets for pedestrians. There's no reason we can't do the same at MCC, VCC, etc., but it's not going to happen with planning like this.
 
Urbanizing "Uptown Mississauga" probably isn't a big priority for the city right now. The majority of this project is on hold until the LRT gets built anyway, as far as I recall.
 
Still, if they fail to plan, they are planning to fail...

as they say. There is no excuse not to plan now for an urban future for Uptown Mississauga.

From the presentations I saw last year, there was no grass between the building and sidewalk.

If there is now, someone should be shot as this the worse thing you can do not only here, but the city as a whole.

This development cannot wait for the LRT as it is still years out before construction starts on it.

If Eve Adam is elected on May 2 as a PC, maybe that ward will get a pro development and transit person, as she is a stumbling block for this area along with Frank Dale.

This area can support 40-60 story buildings easy, as it is on 2 major transit lines that can get people to Toronto if they have to go there in the first place.

The NIMBY is very strong in this area against all tall buildings including the ones in the towers south of this area.

Click to expand...

The thing is, this project is not located in MCC, so your comparison with 7 City centre, located in VCC, doesn't make much sense. That doesn't mean this isn't a shitty project, because it is, but still...
