About this Event
Join us for our next Pavilion Talk speaker series with Gil Penalosa.
Gil, having had the privilege to work in over 350 cities across all continents, wants to share experiences of actions to undertake and avoid when creating cities for everyone.
The GTHA is a fascinating place, with one of the fastest growing populations of any urban area in the ‘developed countries.’ Within the next 25 years, it’ll grow by over 50%; huge opportunity, and enormous responsibility, as whatever we do or don’t will create the place where many millions will live over many centuries.
Unfortunately, over the past 25 years, much of the GTHA’s urbanization has not been adequately done. It’s bad for climate change, as well as for mental & physical health, sustainable mobility, happiness, and more. We need to do things radically different. Unfortunately, the province and most municipalities are doing more of the same. Many are doing the right talk, but not following with the right actions.
In response, Gil Penalosa offers "Conversations with Gil" to raise awareness and guide individuals from a sense of hopelessness to hopefulness, inspiring them to become passionate advocates for Equitable & Sustainable Communities.
