Turning Laneways into Public Spaces

This toolkit is designed to help anyone understand and improve a laneway. It walks you through how to assess your laneway, figure out its type based on its physical features, and suggests effective ways to revitalize it.

Whether you're planning a full laneway makeover or just want to make a small change to the one closest to you, we hope this guide will be a helpful resource and source of inspiration.

We created this toolkit in collaboration with Dr. Shelagh McCartney of +together design and City Planning at Toronto Metropolitan University.
