We are delighted to announce that senior partner Clifford Korman will speak at The Innovation City, which takes place in Toronto on July 18 & 19, 2012. Cliff will speak as part of a panel titled ‘The Metropolitan Neighbourhood: Urban Centres and Local Economies’.
7171 Yonge Street, Markham
Joining Cliff on the panel will be Stephen Mandel, Mayor of the city of Edmonton; Vancouver’s Bob Rennie, president of Rennie Marketing Systems and Carl-Johan Korsas, former CEO of the Framtiden Housing Corporation in Goteberg, Sweden.
The panelists will discuss the new approaches to urban planning that are called for in the era of mega-cities, in which multiple downtowns are increasingly common. Cliff will focus on numerous examples of our large-scale, mixed-use, transit-focused developments at the nodes that are shaping urban centres around the GTA: Mississauga, Markham and Vaughan, among others.
They will also examine the building codes, land-use policies and other attributes that will promote livability, sustainability and economic growth in a 21st century metropolis.
7171 Yonge Street, Markham
The Innovation City is a partnership between former journalist Miro Cernetig and Marc Andrew, and the MaRS Discovery Centre, which brings together leaders who are creating solutions that will improve our urban centres.
JOIN US at this two-day conference, where speakers will examine issues including new ‘Catalyst Cities’; cities as hubs for public and private investment; how local economies can thrive in new urban centres; the impact of research and innovation on economies; why sustainability matters from a business perspective and the importance of culture to growing economies.
