Re-imagining Cambridge
There was an article in The Waterloo Region Record on Saturday, August 22, 2009 about students at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture in Galt working on a project to "polish the rough diamond that is downtown Galt". They took current pictures of various locations in Galt, and redesigned them as vibrant urban spaces. It's a really neat project, which The Record calls "achievable".
Here is an example of River West in Galt:

The Record's website did not have an article or pictures on the project, so here is a link to the .pdf of the page article:
