The Toronto Urban Design Awards occur every other year and are now in their 35th year. An independent jury selected 24 winners across ten categories, with two categories for unbuilt proposals and eight for projects completed within the last five years. More than 100 submissions were received. Awarded sites include Union Station revitalization, Leslie Lookout Park, The Spirit Garden at Nathan Phillips Square and the Port Lands bridges. A new public art category was added, and the inaugural winner, Red Embers, uses red banners on cedar posts as a sacred memorial for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Jurors favor projects that feel naturally integrated and achieve consensus.
