Urban Ecology Forum

a day-long convening of urban ecology experts

approach

This forum aimed to bring together ecological specialists of varying backgrounds to think about a planting strategy and long-term vision for a Toronto neighborhood through a small-scale pop-up park prototype. Through an exchange of work and a brainstorming session around a small-scale prototype, partnerships emerged that continue to inform the larger Sidewalk Toronto project.

role

As project lead for the pop-up park, I curated invitations through our network of partners, coordinated travel and honorariums, develop the agenda for the brainstorming session, and facilitated the event.
