How do we build cities where we aren’t just living within the same urban space, but living together"
Greater Toronto is now home to a larger proportion of foreign-born residents than any other major global metropolis. Not surprisingly, city officials rarely miss an opportunity to tout the region?s ethno-cultural neighbourhoods. Yet there?s strong evidence that the GTA is experiencing widening socio-economic disparities that have produced worrisome divisions. We say that ?diversity is our strength,? but has a feel-good catchphrase prevented us from confronting the forces that seem to be separating and isolating urban communities"
Through compelling storytelling and analysis, Subdivided?s contributors ? a wide range of place-makers, academics, activists and journalists ? ask how we can expand city-building processes to tackle issues ranging from transit equity and trust- based policing to holistic mental health, dignified affordable housing and inclusive municipal governance. Ultimately, Subdivided aims to provoke the tough but pressing conversations required to build a truly connected and just city. SUBDIVIDED: CITY-BUILDING IN AN AGE OF HYPER-DIVERSITY will launch at Revival Bar in Toronto on Tuesday, May 24. In addition to brief remarks from the editors, books will be available for purchase.
