As UrbanToronto celebrates 20 years, we are presenting our next public webinar on Wednesday, October 25 at 1 PM, and you are invited to join in. Free to register for, the hour-long talk with Toronto's Chief Planner, Gregg Lintern and UrbanToronto Managing Editor Craig White will reflect on the remarkable journey of Toronto over the past two decades, exploring the myriad changes that have unfolded, and where the city is going.

As Toronto emerges as a global city, like many others of similar stature it is currently facing an unprecedented housing crisis. Through this webinar, we will delve into the challenge and the ambitious goals of creating homes for everyone who wants to live here, all the while preserving and enhancing the livability for which Toronto is famous, but which feels somewhat threatened at the moment.

Gregg Lintern, Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning City of Toronto, and Craig White, Managing Editor, UrbanToronto.ca

As Chief Planner for the City of Toronto, Gregg is committed to leading the City Planning Division and making Toronto more liveable, inclusive and adapted for all people. His priorities include meaningfully responding to the housing affordability challenge, growing the transit network across the entire City, proactively planning complete and well-designed communities to support population and employment growth, integrating climate adaption and modernizing planning services. In his over 40 years in municipal planning across the breadth of the City, Gregg has led great multidisciplinary teams achieving housing policy transformation, neighbourhood scale redevelopment, new planning frameworks and transit facilities, high profile redevelopment projects, heritage planning and public realm redesign. Gregg believes planning is about imagining the city we aspire it to be for everyone and then setting out to help nurture and create it so that it becomes a better, more equitable place for future generations.
