Our Beautiful City: Urbanized

Our Beautiful City: A new series on the future of Toronto, presented with Spacing magazine.

We kick off a new series on city life with Spacing magazine by screening Urbanized, Gary Hustwit's acclaimed doc about the world’s most innovative urban design projects. Urbanized interrogates the design of cities, discussing issues and strategies behind urban design with some of the world's foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders and thinkers. Who is allowed to shape our cities, and how do they do it?

After the screening, grab a drink and join Matt Blackett, editor and creative director of Spacing, for an informal Q&A with Jennifer Keesmat, our city’s rockstar Chief Planner. Bring your great ideas for how to make—and keep—Toronto wonderful.
