The Esplanade runs through the heart of the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, a planned community built during the 1970s and considered one of the most successful inner city redevelopments in Canada. It's a mixed-income community with low-rent and subsidized rental options sitting side by side with market-priced condos and townhomes. David Crombie Park, the jewel of the neighbourhood, runs for 6 blocks down the centre of the development offering recreation options and lots of garden space.
The white pillars seen in the foreground of this picture are part of an art installation called Patchwork Village. It was created by Jamii, a not-for-profit based in The Esplanade, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the neighbourhood. It will be in place until June 27, as part of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival.
