Label Revitalization of Nathan Phillips Square a Design Competition

Revitalization of Nathan Phillips Square: a Design Competition

Mayor David Miller announced today that the City of Toronto is launching an international design competition to revitalize Nathan Phillips Square - the City's premier outdoor public gathering space, a leading tourist attraction, and national and provincial landmark.

"The City is asking members of the design community to look at this vital public space with fresh eyes," said Mayor David Miller, "and to instill in us an idea of what Nathan Phillips Square can become as a source of inspiration for all Torontonians.

The City believes that Nathan Phillips Square's usefulness and beauty can be improved and revitalized."

More than 175 events of every variety are held on Nathan Phillips Square annually, drawing more than 1.5 million visitors and making it one of the City's major attractions.

Through a series of well-attended public consultations, it was determined that major design attention is needed in several areas of the square that are under-developed and under-used.

The City of Toronto is inviting Canadian and international architects, landscape architects, planners, engineers and other design professionals to submit design proposals.

An impartial jury has been appointed to judge submissions and select the winning design in a two-stage competition.
