Sudbury 2050 Urban Design Competition

This design project was a joint submission involving team members representing Cumulus Architects Inc. and Centreline Architecture (Sudbury). A progressive competition led by the McEwen School of Architecture (MSoA) in collaboration with the community of Sudbury, entrants were challenged to think creatively about the city’s complete urban core: exploring a wide range of options and opportunities for the evolution of Sudbury's urban fabric, ultimately setting out urban design principles that will guide its future development.

Community is the foundation of a healthy, vibrant city and the core is the heart of that community. For the core to be beneficial to the entire Greater Sudbury region, it is imperative that it be accessible for all to reap the benefits of the City’s current and future investments. Our proposal seeked to link the many downtowns of Greater Sudbury, increase residential initiatives, and consider all capital projects currently in the City’s pipeline by establishing a dedicated department committed to ensuring oversight for a cohesive and inclusive deployment of the 2050 vision and beyond.
