The Walrus Talks a New City
The Walrus Talks a New City took place on April 26, 2023 at the Isabel Bader
Theatre in Toronto, Ontario.
What’s happening now—designing sustainable, inclusive places to live and
thrive.
Cities across Canada are trying to reconcile urban design with the needs of
residents. From eco-sustainability to stunted improvements in transportation
and a housing crunch, cities are grappling with how to envision a future that
will prove both durable and flexible enough to meet the ever-evolving
demands of urban living.
What does it mean to make our cities more sustainable, inclusive places in
the long term? How can we shift urban development to make cities safer,
more accessible, and overall more resilient? What changes are happening
now to make cities better tomorrow?
Join seven speakers at The Walrus Talks a New City to explore how we can
reimagine our cities, now and into the future.
