Panel talk: Can you Gender a City?

What if Toronto was built by women? Join leading voices in architecture and planning for a bold conversation on gender and design.

Join us for a provocative panel discussion that brings together leading architects, urban designers, planners, and civic champions to explore this question and its many layers.

Is there something uniquely transformative about women’s leadership in shaping cities? Or does that assumption risk oversimplifying gendered experience? Would women in charge rewrite the urban blueprint or reinforce the status quo?

This conversation digs deep into the past, present, and future of Toronto’s built environment, asking whether a city shaped by women would be radically different or just more visible in the stories we tell.

Come ready to rethink what Toronto could be and who gets to design it.
The discussion will happen in Studio Theatre, within the main building of Harbourfront Centre.
