<h2>Summary</h2><p>“Rhythms of Change” is a story of change. A very successful urban renewal project that portrays perseverance, ingenuity, the human agency that wants to change things and knows how to do it. It is a book – an album of poetry – that tells a living story of Regent Park in Toronto, Canada, of an urban transformation that integrated and respected local residents and the history of the community, and today is recognized as a revolutionary regeneration appreciated all over the world. Once a forgotten and ill-conceived neighborhood in the young city, a silent transformation took place in Regent Park with individual willpower, institutional support, innovative ideas, and an urban design that led to a social transformation process. The housing sector treated local communities with dignity and empathy, and today the place has become a seed of light that can be reborn in many places in the world carrying a mark of change and a unique footprint.</p><h2>Objectives</h2><p>To present a book made by multiple voices that were witnesses and agents of change, written in a prose that tells a living story of an-going social and urban transformation.
