Experts to review new building projects in Toronto

New pilot project in Toronto will have a 12-member panel of experts review new real estate developments in the city. In an effort to make Toronto more visually attractive, the panel will provide advice to the city planners. The advice will focus on the height, location and materials proposed for the building being evaluated.

If the expert's advice proves successful, such design-review panel might be established on a permanent basis in Toronto. Vancouver already uses such group of experts in approval process for new construction.
