This Blog Posts is inspired by two events that happened very recently.

01. Climate Change – What is Urban Design’s Role and Response?[ https://www.canu.ca/program ]

Hosted and sponsored by Urban Strategies Inc., at the new eco-friendly Limberlost Building of George Brown College. This event kicks off the conversations on the challenge of change in our cities with colleagues from CanU and Toronto’s urban design community. A panel of experts involved in the design and development of our urban environments will share their direct experiences in addressing the challenges of climate change.

02. The installation at Brickworks Space for Grief: A Place for Reflection. [ https://www.spaceforgrief.com/our-story ]

Seasonal food. 03. Feet on soil and 04. Cities that honour life’s cycles. The future of well-being may depend less on fixing ourselves and more on redesigning the world around us.
