City Council has just approved a proposal for Toronto to host the major world annual conference on pedestrianism, Walk21, in 2007, in conjunction with Green Communities Canada. It will be a major event. The conference is being held in conjunction with the city’s recent initiative to develop a pedestrian master plan. The idea is that the conference will provide the city with feedback and ideas for the development of the plan, and that there will be a whole series of walking-related activities alongside the conference.

It’s a really exciting initiative, and I’m hoping it will prod the City into creating a plan that is really ambitiouss and broadly-imagined.
