Heritage Planning 

Planning, Urban Design & Landscape Architecture

The Challenge

Ontario's rich heritage reflects its diverse cultural, social and economic backgrounds. Our cultural heritage provides a source of civic pride and tourism to be considered relative to conservation approaches and potential land use change.

MHBC's Approach

MHBC works with communities to determine the most effective approach to a project while considering heritage significance. Our planners have a thorough knowledge of the Planning Act, provincial policies and the Ontario Heritage Act. Our approach, combined with extensive experience specific to heritage-based urban design, downtown/mainstreet revitalization and the development approvals process ensures practical and realistic solutions for considering our cultural resources.
