Fred Kent's vision of transforming Mississauga's city centre and civic square into a lively public space — complete with parks, a tea house, a farmers' market and a wedding chapel — is being hailed as an effective way to revitalize some very dead space. "These seem like very good suggestions," said Ken Greenberg, a Toronto urban designer who is also the interim city planner in Boston. In Greenberg's mind, the plan, developed by New York City-based Project for Public Spaces, of which Kent is president, is all about animating the square and making it active year-round.
