Brantford Urban Design Manual

Following SGL’s completion of the new Brantford Official Plan, we were retained by the City to update their existing Urban Design Manual. The new Brantford Urban Design Manual was designed to support the vision and direction of the new Official Plan, while providing additional guidance for the City’s new expansion lands, intensification areas and downtown. Expectations were added for built form and public and private realm design. Our team made use of an array of software programs in the development of graphics and renderings including SketchUp, Lumion and hand-drawn sketches to development a unique, made-in-Brantford style of imagery. SGL worked with the City, stakeholders and the public in the development of the Manual, undertaking topic-specific meetings and conducting focus groups to understand key concepts to be addressed. This was quite effective in arriving at local solutions.

The City and our team held regular touch-base meetings to collaborate on our ideas, particularly with respect to the new modelling. Armed with a wealth of knowledge from having undertaken the new Official Plan and Urban Expansion Study, we had valuable in-depth knowledge what was needed to meet the community’s needs and desires.
