Compatibility and Welcoming Streets

As neighbourhoods intensify, creating inviting, pedestrian-friendly streetscapes is essential to encourage walking and reduce car dependency for local trips.

While many municipalities offer infill housing guidelines to promote attractive building designs, these guidelines are typically non-binding, difficult to enforce, and often misunderstood by residents expecting tangible impacts.

 

BuildingIN offers a straightforward, effective alternative through form-based zoning. This rule-based approach uses clear, enforceable language to regulate street-facing facades, ensuring new infill buildings are visually interesting, architecturally animated, and foster social interaction between residents and pedestrians alike.
