Each Tuesday, Spacing Montreal will share some posts from our sister blog, Spacing Toronto. We hope it will fuel constructive dialogue on the urban issues faced by both cities.

Public space design in Portugal

Here Patricia Simoes shares series of photographs documenting her impressions of public space in the Portuguese communities of Coimbra, Figueira da Foz and Santana. Her photos draw light to the country’s wide array of street signs, a form of art using ceramic tiles called azulejos and a type of pavement used in Portugal known as calçadas.

Exploring Toronto’s campuses

Matthew Hague takes readers on his morning walk through the University of Toronto’s campus. This article is part of a series of explorations of the city’s post-secondary institutions, which so far also includes a post about Humber College.
