Today, Hidden Rivers returns for 2025.

We begin with a kick-off in Christie Pitts (I bought a rainbow parachute). Then, six tours: from the ghost of the Spadina Expressway to the revitalized Don River.

Whether you grew up in Toronto or just got here, Hidden Rivers is for you.

Remember this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, is linked to better creative & intellectual performance. Among MANY other benefits to you and to society.

Design and build more walkable cities.

It’s a great read. Loved it.

Thank you, Brent 🙏
1. This post isn’t about city planning.
2. I love this because I’ve been a big #StarTrek nerd my whole life.
3. You should read it. It’s really smart. It’s about the Kobayashi Maru, an epic Star Trek plot device.
4. This post actually IS about city planning.
5. Discuss.
