City Beautification Ensemble
The primary goal of the City Beautification Ensemble is the vigorous and continual battle against the ever increasing Blight of Dullness. The CBE believes that colours have long been denied their rightful place in modern urban planning and infrastructure. They ask "why must concrete always be grey?" and wonder if a dash of colour might not do more for the people of this city.
The Ensemble believe that the colour of any given landscape should be considered as an integral part of urban design, as the treatment of the spaces between and around buildings is often of comparable importance to the design of the buildings themselves. Through direct colour intervention the CBE strive to change the notable effects of Grey on the citizens living in the City of Toronto.
