History shows crises in cities lead to remarkable innovations: water treatment after cholera, public health immunization after small pox. What have we learned through COVID about city building, city making and city keeping? Chat with me and answer 5 Questions for Better Cities.
What should come next for Canada’s cities? What can’t be left behind? . As we approach the 1000th day of living with COVID, we want to hear from you!

hear hear! really enjoyed my time with all of you - learned a lot from so many doing really important on-the-ground work to stimulate local main street economies and support neighborhoods thanks #IDAVAN22.
Powerful words that are also inspiring us at @ChiLoopAlliance as we continue to make the Loop Everyone’s Neighborhood. #BackInTheLoop #IDAVAN22
