The City of Sudbury has struggled to maintain vibrancy in its downtown core.
Urban revitalization is critical to reestablish livelihood and draw people in through all
seasons. Vibrancy shall be restored through the analysis of existing interventions within
the city, the exploration of the current image of the city, and through the help of various
precedents which involve revitalization, entertainment and multi seasonal spaces. With
these explorations, an urban design strategy shall be proposed for Durham street,
including the partial enclosure of the street to vehicular traffic and the recovery of
surrounding alleys.
