More kudos for Kitchener’s King Street revitalization project.
The City has been given the gold award for urban design at the Design Exchange Awards in Toronto.
That makes it the top Urban Design project in Canada for 2011.
The recognition goes far beyond the award itself.
As well, the new King Street streetscape will be featured in the national Design Exchange Exhibition in Toronto through to the end of February.
The exhibition then hits the road across the country as well as to some international centres.
Kitchener Mayor Carl Zehr says King Street streetscape redesign “…has been one of the key ingredients in the transformation of our downtown in recent years. Obviously others are beginning to take note of the innovation and energy that exists in our community too – as this award is a shining example of how we are on the cutting edge and should be seen as a leader in contemporary urban design.”
