This Friday (Jan. 13), the University of Toronto Faculty of Law is hosting an all-day Conference on Municipalities and Land Use Planning, “Is there Planning Law or just City Politics?”
The conference will discuss topics such as “Design, politics, and prominent city lands” (read: the waterfront), the Ontario Municipal Board, and “Law, ethics, and municipal government.”
Speakers will include Richard Sommer, Dean of the U of T Faculty of Architecture, former Toronto Chief Planner Paul Bedford, and a keynote address by former Mayor David Miller.
I will be live-blogging this conference for the Faculty of Law (along with the occasional Tweet, hashtag #poliplan), if any of our readers want to follow it or check out what is being said.
