Planning and Design Centre

The Planning and Design Centre is a storefront operation that makes planning and design visible and open to discussion, and connects the public, business community, development industry, and different levels of government.

The Planning and Design Centre provides a venue for informed debate and ongoing exchange of ideas about the future of the Halifax region. It provides one-stop access to planning information and documents; a proactive position in promoting research, best practices, local examples of excellence; and installation projects.

As an independent entity, the Planning and Design Centre will remain separate from regulatory actions at the municipal or provincial level. The Planning and Design Centre will work closely with all levels of government, academic institutions, private organizations and community-based groups to help ensure viable and dynamic built environments.
