About the event
Rising Urbanists - Challenging the Status Quo
A curated showcase of bold ideas from Canada’s next generation of city-builders, this session features innovative urban design concepts from practitioners aged 35 and under.
Selected through a national call for submissions, these emerging voices are not offering best practices—they’re proposing game-changing visions for the future of our communities.
Presenters will share their concepts, the thinking behind them, and how they challenge conventional approaches to urbanism. The session offers a unique opportunity to engage with fresh perspectives and explore how the next wave of urbanists is reimagining the Canadian city.
