\nIn October, Toronto is hosting the major international conference on pedestrianism, Walk21<\/a>. For contributions to this conference, they are looking for a wide range of ideas — not just academic papers, but workshops, walkshops, forums, poster presentations, etc., and they are looking for contributions not just from the usual specialists, but from anyone who has experience of and insight into walking. Full details, including descriptions of the formats and themes, are available here<\/a>. You can get a sense of the kind of stuff they’ve had in the past by looking at presentations from previous conferences on the Walk21 website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One idea that they are floating is having locals present “walkshops” which would be guided walking tours of parts of Toronto illustrating ideas and themes. A key goal of the conference is to pay as much attention to suburbs and rural areas as to the more traditionally walkable downtowns, and the conference organizers have told me that if, for example, someone proposed a walkshop in a hard-to-access suburban area, the city could provide support such as chartering a bus to get people there and back to the conference venue.<\/p>\n

The only drawback is that conference presenters will be expected to pay to register for the conference, although probably at a reduced rate.<\/p>\n

Another great idea would be to have members of the community organize parallel events celebrating walking to take place in conjunction with the conference, for example an art show. It would be fantastic to have that whole week be a celebration of walking. Anyone who would like to propose such an idea should contact the organizers — by email at WALK21@toronto.ca or by phone at a dedicated number, 416-392-7200.<\/p>\n

Here is the call for papers that was sent out:<\/p>\n
