The City of Ottawa Planning, Development and Building Services Department offers the Planning Primer Program to help residents become more aware of, and more involved in, the land-use planning process.
The next course will focus on Urban Design, which involves creating public friendly environments such as, charming streetscapes, bustling markets, distinct town centres, safe neighbourhoods and public squares.
This educational session will cover essential topics such as the principles explored during site analysis, fundamentals of public space design, and the regulatory framework that guides urban design in Ottawa.
The courses will cover urban design basics in an Ottawa context and provide participants with opportunities for questions. There are two dates available and both sessions will cover the same material. Please register for the date and time that works best for you.
