The Massey Dialogues – On Canada’s Cities (post-COVID): Where Are They Going?

This event will be broadcast online and is welcome to all – there is no login or registration required to tune in from the comfort of home. Click here to watch the livestream.

COVID-19 has revealed deep fissures in both global and Canadian cities. Certain neighbourhoods stagger under high transmission rates while other areas remain largely untouched. Volatile housing prices see-saw as homelessness becomes increasingly visible. Businesses shutter while income inequality grows. Gaps surface in access to urban transportation as the labour force is restructured.

How will the post-COVID future unravel in Canadian and global cities? Join us for a life-streamed discussion with University of Toronto urbanologist David Hulchanski – a renowned international scholar on housing, homelessness, neighbourhoods, urban planning, and income inequality. Junior Fellows Stephanie Bertolo, a Master of Public Policy candidate at Munk School and Drew Kaufman, a Ph.D. candidate in economic geography, will guide the conversation, hosted by Senior Fellow Michael Valpy.
