Since late October, the University of Toronto’s Architecture and Design Gallery, located in the basement of the Daniels Building at 1 Spadina Crescent, has housed its first exhibition since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Titled, Housing Multitudes: Reimagining the Landscapes of Suburbia, the exhibition is a study in urban planning and land use that ultimately attempts to offer a model for the strategic intensification of Toronto’s suburban communities.

Expanding on the exhibition for the first time since its opening, a symposium event was held at the gallery on January 26, 2023, bringing together a panel of prominent professionals who could generally be described as urbanists, to discuss both the triumphs and shortcomings of the study.
