The
Hamilton Residential Intensification Guide explains the
City’s general thought process when evaluating residential
intensification proposals and identified common methods and
techniques for mitigating any potential impacts that
residential intensification may have within a particular
neighbourhood or the surrounding area.
As part of
the guide, GSP Group prepared detailed site design concepts
for five different demonstration sites throughout the City
(downtown, street corridors, community nodes, established
neighbourhoods, and non-residential sites) that showed a
range of building types and forms (mixed-use development,
live-work units, townhouses, low/mid/high rise). Supporting
these concepts, GSP Group prepared detailed 3D modeling that
illustrates the design principles and techniques discussed
in the guide and shows how “appropriate intensification”
could be achieved within particular areas of the City.
