Canadian cities present the most interesting opportunity for any planner to work in the developed world; the rapid growth taking place is not happening anywhere except in developing world. This creates a fantastic opportunity as well as a great responsibility because we are designing and building the cities where hundreds of millions of people will live for centuries. We must do whatever is necessary to do it as good as possible.

Join us on Friday September 23, 2016 for a free public talk where Gil Penalosa will deliver 8 messages for creating vibrant and healthy cities.
