Evaluation Considerations
Jury members will give special consideration to the broad goals of the Official Plan including urban design projects that support accessibility, integration and preservation of heritage resources, environmental sustainability, and public art. Successful submissions will take into consideration applicable City of Toronto Urban Design Guidelines, as well as the Toronto Green Standard, all of which reflect the City's expectations for high-quality and sustainable design.
The primary criteria for assessing the merit of entries will be:
- Positive contribution to the public realm/quality of place
- Successful integration with surrounding urban fabric (both urban and suburban contexts)
- Demonstration of fulfilling a clearly articulated urban design intent
- Precedent setting for a project of its type through major innovation and/or design excellence
- Exemplary application of the City of Toronto's Urban Design Guideline documents
- Positive contribution to a sustainable environment, including enhancement of pedestrian, cycling, and transit infrastructure and application of the Toronto Green Standard
Note: The jury reserves the right not to present awards in every category. The jury also reserves the right to reallocate submissions into categories which they deem to be most appropriate.
