Can four highrises turn a Kitchener neighbourhood into an ‘urban village?’
KITCHENER — Civic planners aim to transform a faded stretch of King Street East into a “walkable urban village.”
But urban village is not a technical planning term. Developers have made no reference to it in proposing to build four highrise towers between 23 and 30 storeys in the central neighbourhood that includes the intersection of King and Ottawa streets.
Also mentioned in this story, 1668 King St. E. and 20 Ottawa St. N.
