Summary of Environmental Constraints:

• Water contamination flash flooding and erosionpart of Canada s most biodiverse landscape called the Carolinian Life Zone. The Algonquin people were theformer human inhabitants and called this place Etobicoke, meaning “Place where alders grow.” Speckledalder is a small tree of wet habitats such as swamp forests, marsh edges, and river banks. Mimico, means“resting place for Passenger Pigeons”. Millions of these extinct birds once roosted in local Oak Savannahsto feed on acorns. We catalogued five habitat analogues that occurred within 10km of our site that couldoffer ecological services to new urban landscapes. Today, New Toronto is representative of the MimicoCreek watershed and has Toronto’s lowest green space land cover as follows:

Urban Land Use 97 64 % (7 388 ha)

• Water contamination, flash flooding, and erosion• No storm water control• Absent or severely impaired habitats• Continued extinction of native flora & fauna• Degraded air quality &urban heat islands

Coastal Marsh and BeachesThese streams met a wild Lake Ontario Shorelinewith marshy river deltas and beach barriers. Here

this “lake plain” became a vast swamp forest of SilverMaples, Burr Oak, and Black Ash. During the spring,these swampy forests rang with the calls of birds andsinging frogs. These historical swamps were massivefilters that collected rain and snow melt water. Duringthe summer, old growth Silver Maples pumped thiswater into the air and cooled the hot summer air.

Toronto’s High Park. Here, a mix of prairie grasses andwildflowers grew in a park-like setting with groves of Black,White and Chinquapin Oaks along with Sassafras trees. Thegrazing of the extinct Eastern Elk and spring grass fires keptthese savannahs from becoming forests. Old neighbourhoodsin Etobicoke still have many massive Black Oaks, which areliving relics of these savannahs.

ravine forests lined valleys above creeks thatmeandered through floodplain forests of AmericanSycamore and riparian meadows of Wild BlueFlag Iris. Massive runs of Atlantic Salmon movedinto these streams in the fall, and were said to beso abundant that farmers used them to fertilizetheir fields.

coastal marshlands teamed with diverse plant lifeand millions of waterfowl that sustained much ofthe Algonquin people’s diets. The quiet marshywaters were also major spawning grounds forbass, pike, perch that migrating inland from one ofthe world’s largest freshwater lake system.

The streetscapeand building design provides a framework that is the reasonwhy Toronto’s villages have managed to maintain a healthymix of age groups, many cultures, abundant job opportunities,community identity, and civic pride. Examples includeChinatown, Bloor West Village, Little Italy, Little Portugal, andThe Beaches The features that make up this communitybut could not compete against

A radically different design approach is needed to respond to current issues thanthose found in Toronto’s current zoning bylaws. Compared to current requirements,our design devotes considerable more space for pedestrians, civic space, stormwater, and green space. It offers considerable less space for automobiles andparking. Automobiles require abundant land and intense energy for feasibility. Bothare in decline, and current community designs must respond to these trends, if long-lasting community forms are desired.

Compared to current requirements,our design devotes considerable more space for pedestrians, civic space, stormwater, and green space. It offers considerable less space for automobiles andparking. Automobiles require abundant land and intense energy for feasibility. Bothare in decline, and current community designs must respond to these trends, if long-lasting community forms are desired. Alderville blends the site’s natural and culturalheritage with the time tested design principals found in communities from around theworld that have thrived from the pre oil age to current timesworld that have thrived from the pre-oil age to current times.
