Toronto is a leader in the development of creative, mixed-use buildings that have been able to deliver significant affordable housing among other critical social infrastructures. These buildings bring together public and private uses in creative ways, locating unexpected partners in the same facility.

Join us for a virtual discussion moderated by the Director of the Infrastructure Institute at the School of Cities, and Professor in the Department of Geography & Planning, Matti Siemiatycki, with special guests exploring the role creative mixed-use buildings can play in supporting resilient communities and cities!
