  Hemson develops strategies for the future. We have undertaken a large number of assignments which have required a thorough understanding of urban structure, urban and regional growth patterns and the effects of economic and social trends. The diverse blend of consulting resources in our firm enables us to take a comprehensive approach to issues. The following outline some of Hemson’ s recent projects in this practice area:

Strategic Land Use Options Study — North Oakville
Urban Structure Review — Region of Halton
Growth Management Strategy — Orangeville
Employment Lands Needs — Region of Peel

A significant element of this practice area is the firm’s involvement in a variety of tribunals and Ontario Municipal Board hearings that arise in many of these complex long range assisgnments. Some of our recent cases include:

• Employment lands retention in Bronte Creek, Burlington on behalf of the Region of
   Halton at the OMB
• On behalf of Parkview Transit at the Ontario Motor Transportation Board
• Employment lands retention on the Jannock Quarry site in Mississauga on behalf of    the city at the OMB
