Stopped for a quick coffee in Downtown #ldnont Doing some work while sitting on the @FanshaweCollege restaurant patio on Dundas Street - soaking up some sunshine and live music that’s being played in Market Lane. Great to be back!!
Opportunity knocks! Hamilton is on the cutting edge of mid-sized city planning. LRT is coming, urban regeneration is everywhere, and there’s a strong push for creating a great city through urban design. Here’s a chance to be part of some truly inspiring city building.

Congratulations @westernprof Great to see your excellence recognized. Love how you bring your academic talents, your research and your students to the world around you to make a meaningful difference. Kudos!
So honoured to receive the 2022 Award for Scholarly Distinction in Geography today from @CanGeographers. Humbled to be recognized alongside some of the all-time greats in #geography! Thanks to my great @thehealab team & academic+community collaborators @WesternU @westernuGeoEnv
No parking minimums for non-residential land uses! Some really innovative, gutsy and meaningful moves being made at the @cityofkingston Canada. They’re showing lots of planning and climate leadership on Canada’s mid-sized city landscape.

When in Germany, stop by the most remarkable former industrial-site turned park.
It's hard to capture how amazing Landschaftspark is. It's a former coal/steel mill that has been turned into a park where you can climb and explore the old industrial buildings/equipment. – at Duiven, Nederland

A BIG thank you goes out to @RBCPlaceLondon & @LondonFoodBank1 who provided 3 meals a day for 90 consecutive days for the #LdnOnt'ers at the City's winter response program. Large meals were prepped by @RBCPlaceLondon then cooked onsite & served family-style this year.
Thank You

Seriously...what can cities do to address climate change? Hear real answers from practitioners, academics and the media. #ldnont 's recently-released Climate Emergency Action Plan will be a springboard for the broader conversation. Mar 31st @4pm

Here's Mike Bloxam speaking with Mike Whelan - better known as Captain Compost. He's kind of a legend around the @LondonFoodBank1 , and a wonderful example of how volunteers are the heart of the operation.

Always a pleasure Sean!
Once again I need to thank @jmfplan and @SeanGalloway, along with Eric Lucic, from Halifax, for their thoughts on the missing middle as a potential #housing solution in this country. #CDNmuni #localgov

A large part of the Campus' surface is dedicated to parking for cars. Just imagine how beautiful and vibrant Western's Campus could be if you could transform some of these surfaces to new buildings, parks, outdoor spaces! @jmfplan

BREAKING: Toronto Council has voted to eliminate parking minimums city-wide for new buildings, replacing them with new parking maximums. As chief planner @GreggLintern notes, Toronto becomes one of the largest North American cities to do so. Very important step for a better city.
Yes it is. I agree- @jen_keesmaat is a special planner, urbanist, biz owner & city building leader. I understand that she chose to speak with this audience recognizing that these students will likely play an important role in the future of Canada’s real estate industry. #WesternU
Always a learning experience to hear @jen_keesmaat speak. This time speaking to the creation of real value through city building. Seems that the same things planners often look for through a public interest lens can also build substantial value from a private sector perspective.

Scrap development charges in the name of affordable housing? It was a real treat to speak with @asancton on his thought provoking paper. Thank you @WesternUrban who created the opportunity for this well attended conversation. #urbanpolicy #publicfinance #cityplanning #localgovt
Did you miss last week's @WesternUrban presentation by @asancton in conversation with @jmfplan on development charges in Canadian municipalities? Watch here: youtu.be/nHGbhYlnuuo

Urban change (past, present, future) along Waterloo Region’s LRT corridor.
Central Station, with new condos under construction.
Downtown, DTK Condo (39 floors, region’s tallest building)
Ground broken near Kitchener Market
East end, the entire block will be redeveloped soon.
It’s a controversial thought here in Ontario. What if we did away with development charges? I’ll join @asancton as he discusses his paper that examines this question. Register for this virtual event online. Brought to you by @WesternUrban
