The ideas are flowing! A Community Design Lab is an interactive way for residents to participate in the improvement of their civic spaces. Residents can share ideas for making space greener, more accessible to pedestrians and exciting. Through Civicplan's Design Lab, we are pleased to be assisting GSP and MTE with engaging residents around the redesign St. George’s Square in downtown Guelph.

A local park is a centerpiece for neighbourhoods across cities. Civicplan is currently working with Matrix Solutions Inc. + Seferian Design Group on the reimaging of multiple parks in the Kitchener-Waterloo area in response to changing needs resulting from climate change and stormwater management.

Redeveloping these important community spaces require creative ways to engage neighbourhoods and that is why we are using interactive engagement tools and participatory design to bring residents into the process to reimagine their community parks.

However, this is an incomplete discussion. What about the rural part, where suburban housing ends and farming fields begin?"
