Trudeau selects consortium to co-develop high-speed-rail line between Quebec City and Toronto Government did not provide estimated cost for the project, which will include stops in Peterborough, Ottawa, Montreal, Laval and Trois-Rivières

The high-speed rail announcement is incredibly important. This needs to happen and it needs to be very well planned. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Toronto has a new chief planner. Will he bring a new vision? The city faces a huge housing shortage and the hangover of a 20-year boom. Will Jason Thorne lead the change that’s needed?

I met with Jason Thorne, Toronto's chief planner, who begins with a cautious approach to reform but a strong interest in public design.

Walkable pedestrianized Mt. Royal Street in Montreal

Paris street transformed to include safe, protected bike lanes

It would be reasonable to conclude that the 2 most inspirational cities in the world right now in city-building for people are Paris and Montreal. It might be the french culture for place-making and civic sociability. On the other hand, it might be about 2 progressive women mayors. #Hidalgo #Plante
