Resources
Webinar Summary:
Webinar Summary: Free Cities: Hiding in plain sight are some of the most essential building blocks of a joyful, equitable and affordable city. But these urban assets, that make a city a vibrant habitat for the human spirit, are often neglected, and inaccessible - or threatened by competing demands of urban growth and prosperity. Are there new ways to protect and foster what we call 'social purpose real estate'? Is it time to embrace the 'free city' movement? Join ULI Toronto as we explore how urban leaders are championing city building frontiers in urban affordability and civic joy.
