If you haven’t already noticed, Spacing managing editor Dale Duncan has taken on the City beat for Eye Weekly. The topic that has been turning her crank recently are the myriad issues surrounding development and planning in Toronto neighbourhoods. She recently posted a few observations on the Eye Blog about: the Harry Stinson 90-storey Sapphire tower; the work of Active 18 in the Queen Street West area near the Gladstone Hotel; and why grid layouts are good (except in Portland, Oregon). She has some other great posts on things like cow tipping, bottling Toronto’s water, and the perils of snow removal in the city.
Dale also has a piece on people with infrastructure fetishes in the uTOpia book.
Don’t forget that you can buy an advance copy of the new issue of Spacing at the uTOpia launch party. That’s right: four full days before we release it at our own party, you can get you sweaty little hands on it.
