The School of Cities is a solutions incubator for urban-focused researchers, educators, students, practitioners, and the general public to explore and address the complex global challenges facing urban centres. A living laboratory, the School leverages urban data and lived experience to improve policy and decision-making, and collaborates with communities around the world to make cities and urban regions more sustainable, prosperous, inclusive, and just.
About City Research Insights
City Research Insights is a policy brief periodical designed to link the urban research being conducted at the University of Toronto with the public, other institutions, and decision-makers. With this series, the School of Cities seeks to leverage their extraordinary community of urbanists and urban-oriented researchers to create a rich, multidisciplinary community of urban faculty, researchers, and students across disciplines and perspectives. In addition to facilitating interdisciplinary research projects, partnerships and funding opportunities, The School of Cities provide a hub for urban-focused interdisciplinary and collaborative learning.
My involvement
In 2022, The School of Cities contacted me to help enliven the packaging of their City Research Insights series, provide editorial support, and establish a blue print for future editions of the series.
