The City of Guelph is growing and the way Guelph is growing is changing. Mixed-use and higher-density development is occurring, and good urban design is critical to ensure this growth is being proactively and thoughtfully planned. This is the essence of successful City-building and the vision of cities across Ontario. But how do we move beyond the vision to delivering change on the ground?

Are you interested in how our City is being designed?
