In this podcast we embrace the winter (well, for at least half of the episode): Spacing Radio producer Mieke Anderson gets to the bottom of how the city moves and removes snow, while reporter Sarah Bridge goes to Nathan Phillips Square and Mel Lastman Square to see who takes to these iconic Toronto outdoor rinks. We listen to the man behind Vancouver’s Chinatown gates. And our newest contributor, Pattie Phillips, sits down at the 8-80 Cities conference with urban thinkers Gil Penalosa, Cheryl Brinkman, and Elena Santogade to discuss car-free streets in North American cities.
