The work in this exhibition is the result of collaborative efforts between community members and researchers from across the University of Toronto and Toronto Metropolitan University. It was guided by interdisciplinary research initiated by a 2020-21 School of Cities Urban Challenge Grant titled “Towers in the Park: A Prospective for Equitable Resilience,” and housed at the Daniels Faculty Centre for Landscape Research led by Assistant Professor Fadi Masoud. The Climate Action Hubs are a collaboration with the City of Toronto’s TransformTO climate action and TMU’sSchool of Urban and Regional Planning led by Assistant Professor Victor Perez-Amado.
