Why City-Wide Design Guidelines?

The Guidelines will ensure intensification supports compelling, mixed-use communities, active transportation, innovation in sustainability, social/cultural vibrancy, and a high-quality of life for Vaughan residents.

Training Sessions

On September 21, 2018, the City held two training and information sessions on the approved City-Wide Urban Design Guidelines for land-owners, developers and their consultants. The purpose of the training and education sessions were to introduce the recently completed Guidelines, explain how to use the documents, and provide valuable insights into the City’s expectations for future development applications.
