Picture a bustling city where streets are closed off, not for construction, but for people to walk, bike, and connect. In this episode of 'Tiny Conversations', Toronto City Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam shares her passion for creating pedestrian-friendly spaces. She dives into the journey behind Open Streets TO, an initiative that turns 5 kilometers of Toronto’s major roads into a playground for half a day.
But it's not just about the event; it's about fostering a sense of community in an urban jungle. Wong-Tam talks about the hurdles and triumphs of organizing such a large-scale event and why these open spaces are crucial for a vibrant city life. Whether you’re an urban planning enthusiast or someone who loves seeing cities come alive, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how small changes can lead to big community impact.
Tune in to hear how transforming streets can transform lives.
