Registered NEXT (mid-career) members attending the 2023 Spring Meeting have the exclusive opportunity to explore a themed tour that closely relates to those in this age group, “Growing Up Vertical.” Toronto has recently completed a two-year study of implementing and monitoring Growing Up Urban Design Guidelines. The focus was on how to support social interaction and better accommodate the needs of all households, including those with children.
During the morning tour, NEXT members will explore the Concord Cityplace neighborhood, the largest master-planned community in Toronto, and surrounding areas. The community, developed by Concord Pacific, includes 30 residential towers and 18,000 residents, with 81% of residents ranging from 21-44 years old, and has a 96 Walk Score.
