\u2022 Spacing Ottawa\u2019s Evan Thornton recently brought along his omni-directional microphone on a walk through the city\u2019s Byward Market and Rideau Centre<\/a>.\u00a0 Check out Spacing Ottawa for Thornton\u2019s detailed description of the \u201caudio footprints\u201d he captured and to listen to the city\u2019s soundscape .<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spacing\u2019s Evan Thoronton ways one of a number of commentators invited to CBC’s Ottawa Morning radio<\/a> show to discuss was to revitalize the city\u2019s \u201cdysfunctional Sparks Street Mall\u201d. Spacing Ottawa hosts links <\/a>to this lively and productive discussion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spacing Montreal\u2019s Adam Bemma has produced an informative mini-doc<\/a> on a contentious Montreal proposal that would see a bus corridor run through the city\u2019s historic Griffintown neighborhood. Check out Spacing Montreal<\/a> for the fascinating video where Bemma speaks with engineer and Griffintown property owner, Sami Hakimand , and L’Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al urban planning professor, David Hanna.<\/p>\n

\u2022 An upcoming community forum<\/a> will bring together Montreal residents and eight different city organizations to discuss options for Greening the Plateau. The ideas generated at the conference will then “be directed to the [Plateau Mont-Royal] borough council and the newly created Advisory Committee on Greening”.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Josh Fullan, who teaches English and Civics at the University of Toronto Schools (a private high school affiliated with the University of Toronto), organized the Jane’s Walk School Edition featured in the “Walking” column in the Summer-Fall 2009 issue of Spacing. This week he writes a guest post<\/a> on Spacing Toronto following up on what he and his class observed. Fullan discusses how youth interact with urban space and how to get them excited about the process of community planning and improvement.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway (DVP), two of Toronto’s most used roadways, are, as Spacing’s\u00a0Dylan Reid points out<\/a> “”city assets that don’t earn any revenue but have revenue-generating potential”. Reid muses on how leasing this fundamental infrastrucutre could have the double benefit of reducing car-use in the city (through the use of road tolls) while leading to much needed transit improvements (through re-investing the city revenue generated).<\/p>\n
