#QuestionsForToderian I live in #ldnont, a mid sized, heavily car dependent, lower density city. What do you think are the most effective changes that could be implemented or biggest opportunities for mid sized cities in this pandemic? How does that differ from Toronto/Vancouver?

No critiques of camera height, lighting or “giant hands” so far in THIS video — watch the previous videos in the thread (recorded all at once) to see why they weren’t so lucky. Thankfully the important messages somehow still broke thru those distractions... #QuestionsForToderian

NEW: How do we PUSH BACK on the attacks that have ALREADY STARTED on density, & on public transit, as we fight to defeat the #CoronaVirus pandemic together? If we let sprawl & car-dependancy spread even more, we face even BIGGER crises ahead. WATCH & SHARE. #QuestionsForToderian

It will be interesting to see if my first NON-#CoronaVirus related video gets nearly as much attention & views as the 3 pandemic-related videos have. Have we temporarily lost interest in the “normal” hard challenges of better city-making? #QuestionsForToderian

For those tempted to give me more advice on raising up the camera, lighting etc, note that the last three videos were all recorded at the same time. I’ve noted all your advice for the NEXT time I sit down to record some (no doubt with worse hair). #QuestionsForToderian

It’s only 7 minutes total to watch all 3 of my first videos answering your #QuestionsForToderian. All 3 are related to key challenges of city-building during and after #COVID19. Please watch all 3, share & discuss. For my next one, I’ve chosen a question NOT about #coronavirus.

#QuestionsForToderian - What should be done with municipal golf courses in urban areas? Should they become temporary multi-use parks during the pandemic? Or is this a job for keep out signs and caution tape?

Thank you to everyone providing camera and lighting advice... and to everyone for NOT commenting on my growing need for a haircut. At some point these videos will likely be done in ballcaps. #QuestionsForToderian

How can cities actually get families in their downtowns? Too many cities say they want them, but are failing, I think because they aren’t doing what’s necessary to get them. How can cities succeed? #QuestionsForToderian

How do dense cities everywhere balance between density v/s a healthy distance while designing cities/ re-organising cities, especially as a response to future threats of virus outbreaks or natural disasters or manmade risks? #QuestionsForToderian

How should city planners respond to the pushback against density that comes with every pandemic? How to respond to fears that drive people away from multi-unit housing or public transit? #QuestionsForToderian
