The Urban Project brings decision-makers from across the country together to tackle pressing urban challenges by creating action-oriented platforms for mayors and city staff, federal and provincial government, civil society, academia and the private sector.
Affordable housing, public health, mobility, climate change – these challenges, and many more, are not unique to any one city, and require innovative strategies and mobilization across many actors.
We believe in generating bold new ideas, showcasing best practices, exposing knowledge gaps to be filled, and challenging participants to push boundaries to see what empowering Canada’s big cities will achieve to build a stronger Canada.
