12L/12S
Over the last 50+ years, Toronto has become a national and international centre of economic activity, with a vibrant arts and culture scene and world-renowned research, educational, and health institutions. Additionally, the City has become one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. That said, Toronto also struggles with deep inequalities along many different axes, an affordable housing crisis, underfunded infrastructure needs, and many other challenges. This course provides a window into how the leadership at the City of Toronto think and approach these and other issues as the City works to plan for the recovery from COVID-19.
