LeBreton Urban Design Masterplan
O2 Planning + Design is leading an interdisciplinary team of landscape architects, urban designers, engineers, district energy experts, and planners in the creation of an inspiring master concept plan for LeBreton Flats in Ottawa. Expropriated by the National Capital Commission (NCC) in the 1960s, this former industrial neighbourhood is advantageously located immediately south of Ottawa’s downtown core, and presents a unique brownfield development challenge.

Setting a bold carbon neutral standard, this Master Concept Plan will guide development over the next 25 to 35 years, laying a framework for how the public and private sector will work together to rebuild LeBreton Flats under the direction of the National Capital Commission.
