The Productive Edge: Generating Public Space At The Suburban Periphery

This thesis considers the potential of the suburban periphery to become an ecologically, socially and
culturally productive site which supports local and regional public programs. It explores ways of creating connectivity across the hard boundaries of a suburban development, an expressway and an
agricultural area in order to stimulate biological
and cultural diversity in this typically neglected,
“leftover” environment. The site is the Ninth Line Corridor at the suburban edge of Mississauga, Ontario.
The investigation of boundary occurs at the urban, building and experiential scales, and considers how the intersection of landscape, ecology, architecture
and program can generate activities and events which foster engagement with the site and
within a community.
