Innovation, Urbanism, Public Transportation & Design type stuff.

Maybe a bit of Burnley FC, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Vikings too.
A recent conversation with Mary Rowe of the Canadian Urban Institute for Challenger Cities was pretty refreshing. If you're having one of those days where everything feels overwhelming, focusing on the local can be a good solace.

Toronto can actually do interesting Challenger City things. Worth checking out what is happening on the old Downsview Airport lands with 10 new neighbourhoods emerging over the coming years.

Something about it just makes me think of noughties British city centre refurbishments. Basically Cabot Circus in Bristol.
