Join ULI Toronto and University of Toronto's School of Cities for an evening celebrating the Toronto launch of Vancouversim by Larry Beasley. Vancouverism is the remarkable story, told by a key insider, about Vancouver’s dramatic transformation from a typical mid-sized North American city into an inspiring world-class metropolis celebrated for its liveability, sustainability, and vibrancy. Following a presentation on his book, Larry will join Jennifer Keesmaat in conversation. Listen as these city builders reflect on their tenures as Chief Planners of two of Canada's major urban regions.
