I was recently on Ben Myers' Toronto Under Construction podcast with Ilana Altman (The Bentway) and Rob Spanier (Spanier Group). It was generally a discussion about what makes for great public spaces, how Toronto is evolving its public realm under infrastructure like the Gardiner Expressway, and what it means to design cities with people at the forefront. If you'd like to have a listen, click here. I hope you enjoy it.

What makes for Great Development? 1) When the developer is given the right to block off the street and sidewalk for literally years and not required to install overhead protection so pedestrians do not have to walk around the project increasing commute to school and or downtown by a couple of minutes every day 2) By closing down a Main Street (Lakeshore Rd. In Burlington) for a week to remove their crane. In Toronto the get three days and do it in two. 3) constantly delay traffic on a Main Street 4) Little to no consideration for the community in returning the street to BAU.
