U of T alumni and friends are invited to a thought-provoking talk by
Professor Paul Hess
Faculty of Arts and Science, University of Toronto
For almost 100 years, street design in Toronto has focused on moving motor vehicles as efficiently as possible. More recently, important urbanists have influenced the redesign of our streets with new models like shared space and complete streets. In this talk, Professor Hess will discuss the evolution of these new models, including speculations on how the adoption of autonomous vehicles may affect street design and urban walkability.
Professor Hess will also share how some of these ideas are being integrated right here on U of T's St. George Campus, through the Landmark revitalization project.
Prof. Hess's presentation is part of an ongoing series of compelling lectures for alumni, hosted at venues across the GTA. U of T in Your Neighbourhood brings the University right into your community. Stay informed, inspired and connected, because together we are boundless.
