Pleased to be with @FCM_online and colleagues to discuss their proposal for a new municipal growth framework. Remember Oliver Wendell Holmes: 'I'm proud to pay my taxes, it buys me civilization' . @CANURB #stateofcities

Brilliant, insightful piece @nicolegelinas - so many thoughtful observations including this one "...urban civics depends on people in business, finance, politics, policy and media just showing up, day after day, to make a little unglamorous progress...". Place People @CANURB

History shows crises in cities lead to remarkable innovations: water treatment after cholera, public health immunization after small pox. What have we learned through COVID about city building, city making and city keeping? Chat with me and answer 5 Questions for Better Cities.
