Regent Park Revitalization Plan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Regent Park Revitalization Plan
The Regent Park Revitalization Plan is an initiative that began in 2005 by the City of Toronto with fellow development, government and community partners, with the focus of rebuilding the neighbourhood of Regent Park for 12,500 residents over 15-20 years. This means turning what was once solely a social housing development into a self-sufficient mixed-income, multi-use community. == Background ==
When the community of Regent Park was originally built in 1948, there was limited access to any of Toronto’s modes of public transportation. Since the neighbourhood was built to generate a strong sense of community, the area within the neighbourhood was mainly made up of smaller footpaths and small roads – not ideal for transportation and inclusion to the rest of the city. Over time the neighbourhood became isolated and displaced from the adjacent downtown core and grew a reputation as being one of Toronto’s poorer, dangerous neighbourhoods. The plan to revitalize Regent Park is an initiative with the goal to alleviate the socio-economic gap that had been created and expanded over the last 60 years. Revitalization is meant to promote a full community upheaval by building community facilities as well as affordable housing and home ownership opportunities. A mixed-income, mixed-use community in Regent Park will presumably provide a positive socio-economic shift in a neighbourhood primarily ignored for decades. The new neighbourhood will consist of a mix of rental and condominium buildings, townhouses as well as commercial space with community facilities, active parks and open spaces. Currently in phases 2 and 3 of construction, Regent Park is beginning to see the physical and social shift towards a well-kept, functioning mixed-use neighbourhood. The revitalization plan is being funded by a public-private partnership including government partners such as the City of Toronto as well as the Daniels Corporation. On 11 September 2012, Gene Jones, the current president and CEO of Toronto Community Housing at the time, presented a proposal for phase three of construction for the Regent Park Revitalization Plan. The phase three proposal which would include the Regent Park Athletic Grounds, which would be paid for through a fundraising campaign with primary support from The MLSE Team Up Foundation. The proposed phase three would also introduce three new city streets to Toronto's downtown core, as well as more than 500 replacement rental social housing units and more than 2,000 market condominiums. New businesses would also be opened along Dundas Street, bringing services to the community and providing employment opportunities for neighbourhood residents.
