Reimagine parking lots and suburban spaces as hubs for gathering, creativity, and public space experimentation.

What if a parking lot could become a place for gathering, creativity, and community? How can suburban spaces become testing grounds for new forms of public life?

Join Jane’s Walk Toronto for a conversation on transforming the everyday into something extraordinary through experimentation, placemaking, and collective vision.
