This week\u2019s free lectures in Toronto include a talk on whether getting rid of the OMB is really such a good idea, a discussion about we can do to improve our high-rise neighbourhoods, and a conversation between two collectives interested in urban design, art, and civic change.<\/p>\n

Villain or Scapegoat?: The Ontario Municipal Board and Land Use Planning in Ontario<\/a>
\nGuest speaker: Aaron Moore, a Post-Doctoral Fellow from the Institute on Municipal Finance and Governance, Munk School of Global Affairs
\nThis presentation will contrast the institutions, law, and practices of planning in Ontario with other jurisdictions in Canada and the US. It will argue that the public’s frustration with the OMB masks larger issues present in Ontario’s planning regime, issues that the removal of the OMB will not address.

\nRe-imagining our vertical city:\u00a0 introducing the NFB documentary One Millionth Tower<\/a>
\nToronto is a city of high-rise residential buildings. Yet, many are aging and in disrepair. How can we reimagine these buildings as tremendous assets to the city and the many thousands of people who live in them? Meet the highrise residents, ERA architects, representatives from the United Way, City of Toronto, the NFB and the Mozilla Foundation who all worked together to create the world\u2019s first open-source documentary,
\nOne Millionth Tower.<\/p>\n
