Toronto has a new chief planner. Will he bring a new vision?

It would be reasonable to conclude that the 2 most inspirational cities in the world right now in city-building for people are Paris and Montreal. It might be the french culture for place-making and civic sociability. On the other hand, it might be about 2 progressive women mayors. #Hidalgo #Plante
