As one of the fastest growing cities in the world, Toronto — and its surrounding region — has emerged as an important voice in global urban development. It is now the fourth largest city in North America, surpassing the population of Chicago.
That’s why Toronto has been selected as the next platform for CityAge: The Modern Metropolis, the series of events that assemble leading city builders from around North America and abroad to help shape our urban future.
Building on the success of last year’s event The Innovation City, the CityAge Summit on the Modern Metropolis on May 16th and 17th at the TIFF Bell Lightbox will address the ideas, case studies and partnerships that are the foundation of The Modern Metropolis.
Speakers include:
- Jennifer Keesmaat, Chief Planner, City of Toronto
