    Urban Design for Architectural Diversity [Housing on Toronto's Main Streets] discusses how Toronto's main streets can accommodate architectural diversity through urban design. The author argues that main streets should include ground-floor retail with housing units above to promote street life. Varied setbacks, heights, and massing of buildings can create visual interest while maintaining pedestrian scale. With sensitive urban design, main streets can support a range of housing types, tenures, and incomes to foster socially and economically diverse communities.
