The physical systems and built form of the city are also designed to protect, maintain and improve the quality of life for present and future generations by integrating the principles of sustainability and place making. In order for Windsor to be such a city, Council is committed to urban design principles that enhance the enjoyment and image of Windsor and its people | The existing building design blends with the surrounding area.
