INTRO
The project is situated within downtown Toronto, specifically in the Moss Park neighbourhood, where is
struggling with safety concerns, reflecting from high crime rate and protective measures everywhere, and encountering huge population dynamics and wealth disparities due to gentrification. Amidst this transformation, Moss Park stands as a pivotal public space, uniquely positioned at the intersection of these
dynamic socio-economic forces.
On each edge, it perspectively marked by the continuous development of high-end condominiums, transportation infrastructure such as subway stations, disadvantaged social housing initiatives, shelters, or emergency drop-in centers. It imbues Moss Park with capability if being penetrated, addressing the diverse needs of its inhabitants and mitigating issues of injustice and safety.
