Planning
Within our planning expertise we have a particular interest in regional and neighbourhood cultural planning; in cultural landscapes and their regeneration; and in facilitating community consultation of all stakeholders, as the democratic basis of good planning. Significant planning work includes the Tower Neighbourhood Renewal Project in Toronto; Union Station Heritage Precinct, Toronto Cultural Institutions Public Realm Study, the Culture of Outports program; and numerous Heritage Conservation District Plans and other studies in in Toronto, Hamilton, Peterborough, Kingston, Picton, and other parts of Ontario.

Values
Our core interest is in connecting heritage to wider considerations of urban design and city building, and to a larger set of cultural values that provide perspective to our work at every scale. Our core values are in generating professional integrity and expertise through research, education and mentoring. To that end ERA frequently works collaboratively with other firms to engage in city building, conserving heritage architecture and improving the built environment. We also generate publications and exhibitions related to Toronto and to Canada’s built environment.
