    As momentum to rename Dundas Street builds, city builders are increasingly confronting the Greater Golden Horseshoe’s colonial history and its implications for the future of infrastructure, private land development, and the public realm.
     
    In recognition of Emancipation Month, join ULI Toronto as we explore the region’s history of colonialism, enslavement and abolition, and the displacement of black people in the name of progress. This history has shaped the region and the communities we know today. Through understanding that history and its continued impacts we can work to build a more equitable and inclusive future.
