The issue with pro bono work & fundraising being used to save the Science Centre is that it sets a dangerous precedent. I deeply appreciate the generosity while lamenting the lack of systemic levers for protecting ALL of our public spaces. Charity isn’t the long-term answer.
NEW: The architectural firm that built the Ontario Science Centre releases a statement: “The government’s, recent decision to abruptly, rashly, and permanently close the OSC was a shock.” They are now offering their services pro bono.
The Region of Waterloo council voted unanimously this evening in support of the motion to explore using region-owned properties as sites for affordable housing. It’s great to see momentum for this idea!
Using city-own land to build non-market housing is the best municipal strategy to address the housing crisis. It’s a no brainer! Cambridge said no last month Kitchener said yes last night! Region of Waterloo to debate this evening (I’ll be there!) therecord.com/news/council/c…
At the end of the month, I'll be giving a zoom talk as part of the @livingmaps 2024 Speaker Series. The title is "Counter/cartographies: Disrupting dominant representations of space through art." You can get a ticket here (there is a cost): bit.ly/3RSYYXY.
From the dangers of technocratic urban planning approaches to the long-term socio-spatial consequences of land use initiatives & policies, to “spatial engineering”—delving into the iniquitous & cruel conduct of Robert Moses is essential for understanding urban inequities.
In the 40s & 50s, Robert Moses cut a seven mile long gash through The Bronx to build the Cross Bronx Expressway, displacing over 60,000 people in some of the most racially-integrated communities in the country.
Sir, I disagree. It’s undemocratic to presume “control” over communities where we live & to prevent new populations from having homes there under the guise of lost heritage. You may assert ownership over your house not the community. Be a community steward not a community owner.
@Jay_Pitter The problem is high population growth, not housing. YIMBY deregulation is undermining democracy and peoples sense of control over their own communities - loss of heritage etc. that people want to protect.

More than a profession, urban planning should be seen as a cultural strategy. An opportunity to restore the relationship between body and earth. In order for that to happen we must also engage with the work of imagination.
