SUMMARY:Cities for Everyone: The Walkable City\, 10 Years Later /w Jeff Speck
DESCRIPTION:‘Arguably the most influential living author in city planning\, Jeff Speck was the writer behind Suburban Nation\, The Smart Growth Manual\, and Walkable City Rules\, but his most popular book remains Walkable City\, which was published in 2012 and became an instant classic. Last Month\, the book was reissued on its tenth anniversary\, including a lively introduction from Janette Sadik-Khan and 100 pages of new text that brings it firmly into the 2020s. \nJoin Jeff for a quick review of the four steps of walkability followed by a taste of his new material (Uber-bashing\, anyone?) and a conversation with Gil and the audience.’ \nCities for Everyone with Gil (formerly A Walk in the Park with Gil) is a bi-weekly webinar series which focuses on creating affordable\, equitable\, and sustainable cities. \nIt always has fascinating guests do a 20-25 minute presentation\, a story with lots of images\, and then he has a dialogue with them and takes questions from participants. \nYou can register to future sessions and access to all previous at gpenalosa.ca. \nThis session is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Webinaire: Prendre la mesure des iniquités territoriales pour repenser l’aménagement
DESCRIPTION:L’aménagement des milieux de vie a une influence majeure sur la santé\, la qualité de vie et les possibilités d’épanouissement des populations qui y résident. Ainsi\, les choix urbanistiques peuvent atténuer ou\, au contraire\, perpétuer\, voire aggraver les inégalités sociales. \nCe webinaire se veut une introduction à la vaste question du rôle potentiel de l’aménagement de nos milieux de vie en faveur de l’équité et l’inclusion. Les interventions de trois panélistes initieront l’auditoire à trois dimensions de cette problématique\, soit: \nLe rôle de la pénurie de logements dans la création des iniquités territoriales et les dynamiques qui créent cette pénurie; \nL’impact des transformations urbaines sur les inégalités sociales de santé; \nLe processus de participation citoyenne et le travail avec les populations en situation de vulnérabilité. \nUne période d’échange entre les panélistes et l’auditoire clôturera la séance. \nInformations complémentaires \n\n\nDate: 22 février 2023\, de 12h à 13h30 \n\n\nTarif: Gratuit \n\n\nMode: En ligne \n\n\nInscrivez-vous ici!

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion on Black-Led Community Space
DESCRIPTION:In December 2022\, The Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation\, in partnership with the Infrastructure Institute at the University of Toronto\, released a report entitled\, Inhibited Growth: Examining Public Investment Gaps in Black Infrastructure Needs.

SUMMARY:Mobilizer Session: Public Art and its Potential - Reclaiming Underutilized Spaces for People
DESCRIPTION:From street murals to public performance to in-person and online art festivals\, arts-based placemaking has the power to cultivate a sense of belonging and connect people to community. It also has the potential to bridge gaps and break down barriers to creating safe\, accessible\, and people-welcoming environments. \nBuilding on the theme of reclaiming streets for people\, this session explores questions such as: How do we center community stories in the process of artistic interventions? How can arts-based placemaking transform neglected public places (such as laneways\, parking lots\, alleyways\, etc.) into thriving community spaces?  Who might be excluded from these spaces and how can public art initiatives better facilitate their inclusion? \nJoin us on March 16\, 2023 at 1:00pm ET/10:00am PT for Public Art and its Potential: Reclaiming Underutilized Spaces for People. This session will be hosted by Lanrick Bennett Jr. from the Laneway Project in collaboration with the HCI team. Together with Lanrick\, we will hear from practitioners across the country about their experience in facilitating arts-based initiatives – the benefits\, the challenges\, and the important takeaways. Bring your experiences and questions to join us in the discussion! \nRegister here!
