Housing Multitudes is part of the DesignTO festival and aims to reimagine our suburban landscapes as more socially equitable communities

World Urban Pavilion

Using Toronto as a laboratory, the study and exhibition Housing Multitudes 2.0: A Bigger Picture for Toronto unlocks the DNA of the suburb to create a “big picture” of how the urbanism that characterizes many North American cities can be transformed for the greater benefit of all.Simultaneously lyrical and policy-conscious, the exhibition’s experimental format includes films/animations, vast panoramas and maps, graphic novel-like stories, and models that have all been conceived to challenge received thinking about the suburbs. The curators have purposely brought a degree of fiction to studies that have, in fact, been drawn from real sites and places as well as their histories, in order to engage new audiences and open questions about what the suburbs are and can become.The goal of this endeavour is to engage a wide array of individuals and communities in reimagining our suburban landscapes and the shared possibilities these lands represent in order to empower a future that is more socially engaged, equitable, ecologically balanced and beautiful.T﻿he launch of the exhibition will feature drinks and light snacks as well as talks from curators Michael Piper and Richard Sommers.Housing Multitudes 2.0: A Bigger Picture for Toronto was conceived and curated by Michael Piper and Richard Sommer of the University of Toronto&#x27;s <a href="https://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Daniels Faculty</a> in collaboration with Faculty colleagues, students and staff and exhibited in partnership with the University of Toronto&#x27;s School of Cities._﻿_____________________________Exhibition Viewing DatesJanuary 25th - Opening night - 6:30pm - 8pm * Food and beverages will be served.January 26th -27th - from 9am - 5pmJanuary 28th - 29th- from 11am - 5pm January 30th - May 2023 - opened weekdays from 9am - 5pm_﻿_____________________________Agenda6:30 pm – 7:30 pm - Networking and Mingling7:30 pm – 7:50 pm - Welcome &amp; Speeches<ul><li>Reza Pourvaziry, Co-Director of the World Urban Pavilion in Regent Park </li></ul><ul><li>Professor Fadi Masoud, School of Cities Faculty Advisor, and Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism at The John H.
