The initial response to the crisis was people helping each other, a sense of cooperation and participation. Then we see a downturn in the public mood, then a point where people are exhausted, anxious. We're having interesting conversations about what kind of city we want when we recover. What does a recovery look like? I think you're seeing tension between people who want to return to normal and people who are recognizing that normal wasn't good enough. We need to build back better.

We can often get distracted by or attracted to big budgets, especially with the hopes of an infrastructure stimulus. The truth is that municipalities, businesses, and communities are shorter on money than on needs. Let’s think of the low-cost solutions; changes in policy or bylaws; and the non-financial resources we can muster for the recovery." - Elliott Cappell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492320917-HTUNYXFAOHHAJOVPYXJ0/Emilie%2BThuillier.jpg 100 Actions "Actively create and maintain dialogues with key stakeholders, including institutional actors, small businesses and citizens, to continuously adapt activities and public services and facilitate an equitable and sustainable economic recovery." - Émilie Thuillier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492346715-VFWAUYYPNHZ5K6NIFX0D/Enid%2BSlack.jpg 100 Actions "Explore user fees to create a revenue stream, for example, tolls on high vehicular traffic areas (this particularly can also shift transportation behavior away from cars and increase ridership)." - Enid Slack https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592442161162-08MMYONFRLAR2DDKKGJT/Franc+D%27Ambrosio.jpg 100 Actions "In just a couple of months, housing of almost the entire homeless/ street population has occurred.

As our cities begin to reopen and reimagine the form of our urban places, now more than ever cities need to forge ahead and implement the policies in their official plans that ensure equity, health, climate resilience and prosperity. To 'get things back on track' we may feel the urge to put on hold our visions and goals. But the opposite is needed - cities have emerged from pandemics before - we need to ask ourselves what kind of city we want and align our efforts accordingly." - Howaida Hassan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492491797-2YE82WU2IRUM65M9KNTR/Ilana%2BAltman.jpg 100 Actions "Now is the time to turn speculation to action.

Sheena Jardine-Olade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492219832-PA562QIYT6YVKCXWZGZ2/Dave%2BHarvey.jpg 100+ Lessons "The past year has reinforced so strongly that parks and green spaces are absolutely essential urban infrastructure, especially for underserviced neighbourhoods, and must be fare better entrenched in how we plan and support our communities." - Dave Harvey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/4bc70577-1844-4e64-8f62-b0cc313f3215/E9336B23-3F78-4511-A31D-15676D81D627_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Governing is never what you thought it was going to be; the work is to find a way to still be the leader you planned to be while doing what is needed, not necessarily what you planned." - Julianna Charchun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/96f292c9-eaf5-4c16-aabe-5e2ba27afb4b/4BBC2ECD-7701-4DF3-87C3-757E27CC5DD7_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Nothing, absolutely nothing, can be taken for granted. Count your blessings and deeply cherish everything and everyone in your life. At a professional level, the pandemic has emphasized that the mission I've devoted my life to - striving for everyone's right to live in safe and secure housing - is worthwhile, because adequate housing is essential for life." - Shivani Chaudhry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/5b9492c6-d2d3-4ee3-b7ee-e1f6ea88ac73/3F88D559-816F-4F68-86BB-BF77084A5C06_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The resilience and creativity of my public service colleagues in the face of adversity has been the biggest learning I've taken from the pandemic. Under pressure, governments have rapidly prototyped to solve challenges and I hope this reborn instinct continues as the new operating model for government." - Chris Rickett https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592491568746-5G29D6IEJB91V6HK59XK/Ana%2BGonzalez.jpg 100+ Lessons "To always check my privilege, biases and assumptions, and to prioritize taking care of myself." - Ana Gonzàlez Guerrero https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/711f03ee-6317-415e-a240-b8e8bea113d4/F7DFAD7F-8654-48A2-B919-DC8A4E33917F_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "My most important learning has been that people are resilient, over a short-haul, but our systems are barely resilient at all - and, certainly are not resilient enough for ALL of us." - Beth Gignac https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/18d34281-a4a7-4045-80ad-ee1cdaef78a8/EE5F4E0E-7A69-4E9F-9D7E-5F7FB6B52D1A_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The most important thing I've learned is that the unwritten contract between government and the people that dictates the ability to mobilize collective action depends not on the severity of the threat or challenge being faced, but how effectively both the threat and the necessary collective response is communicated. The second most important thing I've learned is that government, when given a social license due to crisis to innovate and potentially fail, can become less risk adverse and much more agile - a very good thing, that it would be wonderful to maintain after COVID." - Jeff Lehman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/ae0c18af-c2ed-44b1-8b53-45ebf83562dd/550EC1CE-5737-4358-A734-BEDA890C171D_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "You have to be willing to make decisions that may create short-term hardships but create lasting results - most notably the health and safety of our people. And that is ALWAYS the most important part of my job, and grounds me in my work." - LaToya Cantrell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493205514-KHMDW022QYL29WX9M9IP/Margaret%2BPfoh.jpg 100+ Lessons "Our Indigenous peoples truly deserve solutions led by Indigenous peoples." - Margaret Pfoh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/bc997f9f-863f-4a02-9027-47f1f8379b04/D2F43225-F51E-4EAB-B94A-567CCAA562F4_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Urbanization has a huge impact on society; thus city planners should collaborate with a diverse group of people who will bring different perspectives to the planning exercise thus enhancing the final outcome." - Cynthia Dorrington https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/bba8684e-e944-4bf8-92af-89be2580d185/Screen+Shot+2021-03-10+at+11.17.21+AM.png 100+ Lessons "Trust and collaboration is essential to the development of our community spaces and the places we call home. Authentic community consultation and action cannot take place without trust from the community." - Dane Williams https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/8f0ba40b-d6ba-4f53-91fa-5af7f1d12398/69C00616-E1E5-4DFD-BD77-EFD641EAE2D6_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Over the past year, the most important thing we have learned is that local government has to find new ways to collaborate with Community-Based Organizations in solving local neighbourhood challenges." - Nigel Jacob https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492153547-0TB4M62LGYOS4ULOTOIE/Colette%2BMurphy.jpg 100+ Lessons "Truly reciprocal relationships make a community wealthy even when resources are scarce." - Colette Murphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592440497048-KC2CK2Z2NMURLXFWGNOG/Danny+Bridson.jpg 100+ Lessons "The 'bad news' learned from the last year is that the future is far more unpredictable than I would hope, followed by the 'good news' that the essential aspects of our lives appear to be remarkably more resilient than I ever imagined." - Danny Bridson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/3163a345-d402-4520-b696-3e67cfd6acaf/2FCDD804-255F-4797-B5D5-23B0361C9AC2_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The pandemic has taught me that cities should have the codified and protected autonomy, authority and resources to quickly and nimbly go beyond emergency provincial measures, where necessary, on all critical matters related to disease prevention, including housing, proclaiming and enforcing public health measures and creating support mechanisms for the most vulnerable." - Doug Earl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492346715-VFWAUYYPNHZ5K6NIFX0D/Enid%2BSlack.jpg 100+ Lessons "COVID-19 has shown just how much cities are on the frontline when it comes to delivering essential services, but they have limited sources of revenue to respond to the crisis." - Enid Slack https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/8c038759-e7b9-4c61-a605-53abf3abc445/573FEFAD-B5F6-4CD1-9E5E-9F490D1BCFAF_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Parsing the work of recovery while safeguarding wellbeing is essential, so local governments must look for the biggest little thing they can do, and change policy and regulations to let the pivot happen ASAP." - Hazel Borys https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592442161162-08MMYONFRLAR2DDKKGJT/Franc+D%27Ambrosio.jpg 100+ Lessons "I suppose the most significant thing I've noticed in the last year, is peoples' heightened awareness and sensitivity to the urban built environment. This has come with the hyper-awareness (for some verging on fear) of the physical presence and proximity of other people. Walking along street sidewalks, I at times notice people looking constricted as they approach each-other and then relieved as they encounter a widened sidewalk or a set-back façade. People seem to be discovering their own and the neighbourhoods of others, as well as urban open spaces." - Franc D'Ambrosio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/0c3bfa9d-597c-4710-982e-ef3630bc6ba3/CF654D4C-F905-4481-A352-76E7F6D6769B_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "I've learned that the work and focus Edmonton has put into winter over the past 8 years has paid off - beginning with warming elements, an expanded bike network, increased skiing and skating trails, and new park buildings designed with winter in mind, we've put in place the facilities and amenities for our residents to easily enjoy being outside this winter in a physically distanced, safe way." - Isla Tanaka https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/eb983401-d3cc-4fd4-bebc-052f2b42b3ac/4A640DB7-CB5D-4387-82DD-3F7E3DD9C073_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "During this time, I've experienced and witnessed soul-crushing loss. I shriek-cried like a small animal caught in a snare while watching on Zoom as a friend and her baby were buried. Three days later, a young man I collaborated with on a Confederate monument project site transformation drowned. Less than two weeks ago, a beloved friend and colleague from Charlotte, who'd buried his aunt and brother within the same week, died. And so, through the expression of my own grief, I'm deepening my approaches to designing and programming public spaces that will enable us to process our collective COVID-19 grief, and by extension, create healing and joy." - Jay Pitter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/f72cdbd4-2a13-4790-9eb9-88760983407b/B068DFD5-2600-4008-9E42-29B829CB56C0_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The old systems and structures are dramatically failing us and the path to a more equitable world requires deconditioning ourselves so we can dream in a new world. We witnessed business, government and organizations do things radically different. The door is open to a whole new world." - Vicki Saunders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/2a819ab8-1346-4ed4-9dd4-4e035eaa6ff9/2ADAED9D-E1B7-4E71-887E-817C51999CFC_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Closing communications loops, and clearly defining roles and responsibilities, are paramount to effective and successful community collaboration in response to any challenge, including unprecedented ones." - Janine Theobald https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492297055-SY431BBK071TF2HFYZXW/Elliott%2BCappell.jpg 100+ Lessons "Shocks really are accelerators for trends in the urban system. Huge upticks in online retail; challenges to shelters; challenges to public finances; need for renewal of the housing stock - these were all percolating pre-pandemic, accelerated by it." - Elliott Cappell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492653974-7YVT0LJX4XR4Q9C1P0DS/Jeff%2BHebert.jpg 100+ Lessons "What the COVID pandemic and the recovery underway has highlighted for me is the importance of leadership and institutional capacity to be flexible in adapting to meet the direct needs of communities. Governments, NGOs, and charities need to be nimble in order to respond and self-aware enough to realize off the shelf politics and programs may not work." - Jeff Hebert https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492696063-9S5JLMFS4E5T4QEC7GUB/Jim%2BWatson.jpg 100+ Lessons "Despite the many challenges and loss of life in the face of COVID-19, I've witnessed the best in most residents when it comes to helping a neighbour, a stranger or a small business struggling in a time of great need." - Jim Watson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/bf38278d-f5d2-45c1-ad20-9abd5926ec90/ACEA6409-A986-4943-BF5B-2E9F0C367833_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The the pandemic has full exposed city building and real estate development models that were already breaking down. So the answer isn't trying to get back to what we were doing before, but using this as an opportunity to create the freedom and speed in our cities that turn ideas into action that moves us forward." - Ken Bautista https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/2c8a65b3-38c8-420b-a687-e2195eb71b21/66A23785-FE0B-4B08-B57E-7CB06FE7E954_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The biggest thing I've learned in the past year is the importance of paying attention to myself." - Joe Salmon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/11059ede-0620-4881-9ac9-f2ca95c4f366/4ADDD5F0-148F-4D0B-B2D6-59DFD1169398_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "This past year has really shown the consequences of starving cities of the money, power and respect they need to support strong and healthy communities." - Andrea Reimer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492828388-MSJ6ISLK6UW5S3WGZOXO/John%2BTory.jpg 100+ Lessons "I have learned we, as the City government, really can move much faster to get things done to support residents and business, such as through programs like CafeTO, and that we will continue to do that going forward, once we are on the other side of this pandemic." - John Tory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/ad0412a2-66b5-419f-9e48-dc20f2a4eab5/5AAD4AC0-D49D-4C23-8FB2-1DA5C4AFA6EA_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Across the country, cities are transforming their urban spaces both temporary and permanently - creating civic commons - places to be informed, to discuss ideas, to formulate solutions, to participate, to network, and to test opportunities. Cities need to foster a civic-minded culture that balances the voices of the loudest and quietest people in the city; prioritizes and engagement between builders, developers, architects and impacted residents; and explicitly encourages its decision-makers to dive into urban debate and discussion, not shy away from them." - Jason Syvixay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492904470-KZ0EVHK52QAXHAUIY4HT/Judith%2BVeresuk.jpg 100+ Lessons "One of the things I've learned this year is that calm, clear, consistent communication goes a long way to providing reassurance, calming fears and inspiring confidence." - Judith Veresuk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/fd6f75d4-edfc-4b15-a70f-f0bded41c4e7/025340B3-3AC6-40D5-99A8-9F1A3F834238_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Now more than ever we need to reform our policies to make our country truly resilient and protect all our communities from similar COVID19 impacts on our socio, environmental and economic well being." - Arielle Kayabaga https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493079534-A8DURNXWPHTSFTGHV0HN/Leilani%2BFarha.jpg 100+ Lessons "There remains significant disconnect between the obvious and pivotal role decent housing plays in protecting against the virus and the commitment and collaboration of governments - through policies, legislation, and resource sharing - to ensure access to adequate, affordable housing for those most in need." - Leilani Farha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493145098-0XLOKSHU992G1XNZWXJM/Lisa%2BHelps.jpg 100+ Lessons "What I've learned over the past year is that the most important word is 'Thank you.' I've also learned that the only way around, through and over the massive obstacles that COVID-19 has presented to cities is deep, generous and unwavering collaboration, even when - and especially when - it feels difficult to do so." - Lisa Helps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493235229-JYWWN9OD6G2ZKI2Z6T47/Mark%2BGarner.jpg 100+ Lessons "What I have learned over the last year is how fragile our neighbourhood economy is, its health and wellness plays a significant role in all urban environments." - Mark Garner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493473550-BA9Q5NZEWZ1IA3UHEZFY/Michael%2BHidetoshi%2BMori.jpg 100+ Lessons "Letting go allows you to move forward and find productive solutions - waiting is not a solution, it's a measure." - Michael Hidetoshi Mori https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493542861-OWP86QOT3DRCQGC9LIKL/Michael%2BShuman.jpg 100+ Lessons "COVID has proven to me that there's a growing interest - indeed, a hunger - by people to move their money from Wall Street back into local people, projects, and businesses." - Michael Shuman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493740165-2WADVHC2F3GHPV1UKYYV/Noreen%2BKassam.jpg 100+ Lessons "A local government's primary source of revenue remains property taxation.

We can't survive this by operating as an individual, we need to work as a group." - Patrick Sullivan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592492550447-KL9HI1SUXZIJA8W2Q683/Jane%2BFarrow.jpg 100+ Lessons "#1 lesson COVID has taught me is to slow the fuck down - to look up more often, and enjoy the clouds, the snow, the blue sky or the rain - because the journey is the destination." - Jane Farrow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/191381ee-6954-4cdd-bdf9-63bc98ece350/3B6EEC7D-4CD7-48B3-BD94-59C0E81F6CFE_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "I think I learned how to deal with my stresses and help others with their stresses (including my brother)." - Zoë Bennett https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/f94bdbf2-60ac-49cc-8149-f4bed6e9af88/1193CF72-F1B6-4A44-93ED-BD15A87320C8_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The collaboration and alignment between municipalities across a region and across the country is critical to addressing COVID and the other challenges that urban communities are facing." - Sadhu Aufochs Johnston https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592493950431-FH2WXV2PVT6CSOS7I0BE/Ratna%2BOmidvar.jpg 100+ Lessons "The pandemic has clearly illustrated the importance that essential workers, many who are immigrants residing in our cities, have kept us safe and fed while often putting themselves in harm's way. Let's not just say thanks, but back it up with real and lasting changes to give these workers the respect they deserve. They stepped up for us, it is now time that we step up for them. Their essential work must be compensated by essential pay." - Ratna Omidvar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592494152043-SHQ7W27YLWLYGWCJCRRG/Shoshanna%2BSaxe.jpg 100+ Lessons "The most important thing I have learned this year is how quickly change is possible if/when we are willing to try (e.g. urban bike lanes, repurposing of existing space and infrastructure for new uses). - Shoshanna Saxe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592494182326-W6JF7FCU98K1DNIKWLRE/Siri%2BAgrell.jpg 100+ Lessons "People are amazing.

But these decisions have not been equitable. Businesses, educational institutions and even at home online practices, if available, have been forced to change due to the crisis. They will likely remain and expand in a post-COVID19 world. Of course this is only possible with accessible and affordable high speed broadband, especially in rural and remote communities and disadvantaged pockets within urban areas." - John Jung https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/15f79b46-b855-47e9-8907-29b687795834/7E1CAB26-BCD5-4637-B6E2-7622644C6158_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "COVID has generated tangible opportunities to improve the lives of all children and youth in Canadian cities, and one of the fastest ways to do this is to make streets and sidewalks safer and more child-friendly since we now know that this is where kids, and especially kids without private yards, spend a lot of their outdoor time. Parks and playground are important but the pandemic reminded us that making streets and sidewalks quality places for play, movement and interaction is a health and equity power move." - Josh Fullan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/cab78784-f494-4495-818f-8a5b1dae4e2c/74C2735D-F8AB-47A2-B785-E433966CF6E4_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Design professionals have a greater role to play in the built environment than we currently take responsibility for because we are caught in the trap of design to program and budget, rather than designing for public health, safety and security." - Jason Robbins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/169bae58-b638-45c3-a07e-b882201dcc70/206A23E8-F5FC-407F-8EAB-8364E01C6B7C_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Groups thrive when you achieve collective action for the common good, it takes a lot of time to establish a coalition based on trust and when you do, it pays off in spades." - Karen Gosbee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/ec7d77ec-558d-406e-9b4a-90ea9ca1f143/D61BF9F0-9A85-444B-9D0D-20D757D877A3_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Focus on making the best decisions with the information that you have available, and update what you're doing, if/as the information changes." - Rebecca Alty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/ebd15720-826e-46e1-85d9-c46d6a4f7ca5/059302EF-2566-4A26-9359-960D0C5E1AAA_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Even when things get chaotic, it's best to take a step back and give your brain time and space to consider all the options.

Whether it has been in terms of street reallocations, public space investment, business supports - we've seen funds redirected, application processes streamlined, plans that in another time would have taken years are implemented within weeks - start to finish. It's been good to know cities can be nimble and flexible. We'll need this." - Meghan Winters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/e46111e0-4570-4a97-89b3-6b134b3030fd/79087F0D-BE67-4461-BA70-2B76C8E6BCA4_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The most important thing I've learned this year is the power of radical pragmatism." - Micheal Vonn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/bb336182-eae1-4910-be82-9cd966ce854b/66DA1C97-2F29-4949-93BC-86F08C4D413C_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "In a year where the benefits of public space and the disparities of racial and social inequality were laid bare, the most important thing I have learned is that urban designs are only as strong as the inclusive processes through which they were created." - Mitchell Reardon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/ef1f2573-04bf-438e-a0b0-2f6415b60f2f/CC9B4739-AD08-4756-AA26-A23A89AF1AC4_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The most important thing I have learned this year is the power of resilience; Ryerson University's leaders, faculty, staff and students have all shown incredible resilience in the face of constantly evolving information, circumstances and expectations and it is that resilience that has helped us to find opportunities to thrive and succeed in the last year." - Mohamed Lachemi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/e7a30965-90df-4ead-ac19-55642b7e7973/1DC16DC5-C772-465E-9F1A-FDF3D1F7CA71_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The COVID-19 pandemic is not the great equalizer it was thought to be at the beginning of the pandemic, equity-seeking communities were the worst hit, and in the past year, I have seen and learned from the resilience and strength shown in the support of these communities by Edmontonians.

This year cities responded with temporary mass shelters for those experiencing homelessness, converted underused road space to walking and biking trails, amped up the cleaning protocols on transit, and providing transit service helping to connect essential workers to their jobs - even as transit was challenged with massive declines in ridership. Any one of these initiatives on its own would have been a major feat under regular circumstances but we have shown we can accomplish amazing things even under great strain." - Howaida Hassan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/3cd871d6-dabe-479f-bd81-35fa19de23dd/78996B47-659D-4DD9-A046-B34109B44742_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "What we learned is that our current systems are not set up to support self-employed artists and gig workers, and yet people are leaning on and needing the arts now more than ever for all the reasons that arts are always important - to feel connected, to lift our spirits, to engage socially, and for our own mental health and self-care. What we need are programs that recognize the value of artists and art workers and provide ongoing support for them." - Patti Pon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/27fcb197-3172-43b9-ae59-dd0f77c57304/E80B5316-8B00-4C20-9458-293235300441_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "If you want to make a positive difference during a major crisis, do not wait to be told what to do, find useful actions that align with your broad mission and take action." - Paul Takala https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/5f63b2a0-5a02-42c0-8ed1-18ce88b03235/6E885904-F168-4649-BA73-103F9C94852D_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The single most important thing I have learned is that we forget. We forget to understand and to take time in addressing the origin of our collective challenge. We forget that our human actions cause destruction of habitats leading to greater suffering of other living species, causing them to come closer to cities to survive, and thus increasing more potential viral infections onto humans. And by forgetting, we prevent needed change." - Rami Bebawi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/3b08849c-d918-4286-b542-8ee4f00c3459/5ECBDFD4-D13D-44A9-9A5F-6150E54E6E06_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The most important thing I've learned over the past year is that it is possible for the public sector to be innovative, responsive and fast moving when faced with a crisis. The hope is that this experience carries forward to times when a crisis is not the motivator, and that we can still embrace experimentation and "in-flight" corrections and overcome fear of failure (and bad media associated with failure)." - Judy Morgan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/18e8628d-8a66-4557-9526-0a58c753ea9b/0C080BD8-7886-490D-88B7-676C13B6B7DC_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The previous year has made one thing clear: solving our biggest problems requires coordination, data-driven decision making, and advance planning - three essential actions that our elected and appointed leaders must perform much better going forward." - Richard Albert https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/9440e3ef-1e4f-4f15-b631-13660551a1a9/F068383B-F9CD-421D-908D-140071415AA1_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The most important thing I learned over the past year is that, when necessary, our communities will fully collaborate to provide vital services for those in need in a sustainable manner." - Rob Miyashiro https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/0fea4df0-ba06-47e0-9909-225dc9caece7/F0741673-CC3D-442A-A4C3-B55A9BBB4329_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Since COVID-19 exposed and most affected the social, spatial and institutional peripheries of our urban society, we are compelled to make the protection of these marginalized communities the centrepiece of our future pandemic preparation - which must start now!" - Roger Keil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592491329982-JEFQGTDSGMODKM8OSV9K/Amarjeet%2BSohi.jpg 100+ Lessons "While the pandemic has laid bare many uncomfortable truths and exposed our society's deep vulnerabilities (the plight of seniors in care homes, the precariousness of jobs, social and economic inequalities, homelessness, poverty, systemic racism and mental health), it has also shown that Canada has the capacity and ability to wrestle big challenges. The question is, are we willing to harness our collective energy and wisdom to tackle them." - Amarjeet Sohi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/daf22164-11f2-4d43-87fa-94d503d3ee87/1AF377C4-12C3-4D47-A1A5-200F27D966E3_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Crisis focuses the mind and spurs innovation." - Rupen Seoni https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/0451985b-9c25-47e8-afd6-825d524e2d81/32A4E60C-1889-42F8-9C4C-BAB41AF7FD42_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Healthcare infrastructure is inadequate in high growth urban Canada & it creates two tier and unequal healthcare capacity in Canada." - Patrick Brown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1615416201446-9TTKX8OC1M5T3PYGGCPJ/4376F6CB-6947-41A2-BDAD-07D91B65BE4C_1_105_c.jpg 100+ Lessons "Again its resilience of the people in the DTES and if you want something done you have to just do it." - Sarah Blyth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/a0495ab1-b42c-42e8-a02f-c24631caa866/30FDB3D3-5432-49FF-A881-EA165564255A_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "One thing that has become apparent is the need for better public eduction regarding the role of municipal council.

a new type of downtown is needed to address the reality of fewer employees and a significant reduction in business travel." - Thom Mahler https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592490991774-D9YPE8XDNGV6JAWSN2DA/Alex%2BFlynn.jpg 100+ Lessons "The urgency and gravity of COVID-19 on our most vulnerable has taught me the importance of taking transparent and equity-focused action now, not passing the baton elsewhere." - Alexandra Flynn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592491680629-IVQK3CQ6MGQNDQ7KSCAO/Brian%2BKelcey.jpg 100+ Lessons "In Year 1 of COVID, I learned that within the broader Canadian public policy community, the casual misunderstanding of what local governments do - and how they can do it - goes a lot deeper than I thought." - Brian Kelcey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/5bbbe876-5218-4463-bf6a-27f4c31c641d/3CACF266-B0DE-4841-9BB0-7CA34141E32A_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Even as it has torn the world as we knew it apart, the pandemic has created infinite opportunities to re-think everything including culture and to step up our leadership in empowering creators to lead the renewal." - Tim Jones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/edaac4ca-9d71-4f9a-ae48-02969dfe3ab9/6200D16C-D8FA-4193-AB22-83B9B1DDB41D_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "'Back to Normal' was awful for so many people, for our cities and our transport systems and it's time for a new inclusive society centered on equity." - Timothy Papandreou https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/6f1d0094-504c-4f24-9a42-a243079bcba8/4446A61C-A2ED-43EE-A648-6D6F9FDC369E.png 100+ Lessons "Changes in practice and design can happen and be embraced incredibly quickly - busy streets were closed off to traffic and became pedestrianized in a matter of weeks, entire office buildings emptied out replaced by home offices across neighbourhoods, etc. - but the need for human connection beyond technology and design solutions prevails and we still long for mingling beyond our private spheres." - Charles Blanc https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/7b610550-07c3-4f95-a5a7-6eebb11cf457/4B9077DF-6E6F-42C4-A6A3-AD3BAF16C54C_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Large-scale economic and social disruption like the COVID-19 pandemic is compounded by inequality, and without addressing inequality we undermine our resiliency and ability to bounce back. Energy transition will likely propel the next world-shifting disruption, and as we make this shift we must use the lessons we learned during this public health crisis and forge new commitments to fighting inequality. Otherwise, extremely difficult societal divisions, like the many we've confronted in the pandemic, may prove barriers to ecological imperatives we still must meet." - Don Iveson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/889e986c-5ee5-4240-8779-e8dbfc5a8091/70A8567B-EB00-420C-94FF-A644547449C5_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "I learned just how soundly constructed my white male privilege is. It's shameful." - Robert Plitt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/75af75e5-b581-42f6-ae6f-50adba272948/21EF8BF4-B1F7-4CD3-846D-4D5B8635960F_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Accessible and functional infrastructure such as balconies are the amenity heroes of this pandemic. We can no longer afford to view accessibility as an afterthought and as negotiable design features. These are human rights issues in a pandemic accelerated future." - Amina Yasin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/6cb6b44e-b03f-41c5-b7ad-ceba68dca21a/76282047-EF87-4379-911F-52DA7F8FCE83_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "I think the last year taught us just how resilient we can be as a society if we find opportunities to learn and innovate during difficult times. When mobility became a noticeable challenge during lockdown, we saw a significant rise in the public's interest on sustainable mobility that led many governments to seize the opportunity to implement policies to encourage this behaviour further after the pandemic - Paris being one of the most prolific examples of that. The pandemic also revealed how our governments' priorities were failing to reduce inequalities but thankfully we have seen a shift to prioritize affordable and supportive housing." - Andres Penaloza https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/44d58a8e-c4dd-43ba-bcf2-223bcb158916/6BA82201-E280-4C24-B260-F99DD7DD1770_1_201_a.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Don't underestimate our ability to adapt to the unthinkable. Even the most introverted person needs to connect with people; not recognizing that has led to our current mental health crisis on top of the global pandemic [...] The fact of the matter is we need each other - for comfort, for joy, for friendship and for bonding. What is life without these things? What are we most looking forward to when the crisis is "over or "averted" for the time being? We will need places to reconnect. Allowing the spaces that facilitate sociability to close is doing a great disservice to the future of humanity." - Alicia Scholer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/1592490977211-06K1UTM34XM1JDFORE4H/Ahmed%2BEl-Geneidy.jpg 100+ Lessons "Public transport is an essential service for cities to survive, the pandemic has highlighted the fragility of the public transport operations funding mechanisms and accelerated the need to figure new sources for operations funding." - Ahmed El-Geneidy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/ad7a9cb4-ac8e-4f9f-823d-da2ebb8397da/5C00C543-3F0B-418B-BB22-965B2EF37827_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Leaders show up." - Carol Coletta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/60edc369-97fa-4404-a42f-449233847bde/5B5EE814-81E6-4777-9EA8-8F5BD202C845_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "Over the past year it has become exceedingly clear that we need to reclaim public space for people in our cities so that there are safe and comfortable places for gathering and commuting with each other." - Catherine McKenney https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/c11274b9-e3dd-4802-816f-e0e5b14ccfd6/1FA3CA84-DFAD-4792-B2CF-17B141D48BAA.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The main thing I learned in relation to housing policy is that we have to stop counting new "affordable" units and start counting net loss of affordable homes as our basis measure of success." - Carolyn Whitzman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/c899cae9-a074-49b9-b9d2-bc5c1d0e470a/B357064D-587C-4D0A-8629-B3122807ECF7_4_5005_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "The hope I am getting from this year is simple: When forced to adjust, we can. And, it can happen in an incredibly short time-span, and so we need to stop solely focusing on magical technological and medical breakthroughs to reduce our ecological footprint and increase our resilience and simply tap into our greatest potential - our capacity to activate our own hopes and dreams through 'co-learning and local action,' wherever most appropriate and effective." - Daniel Pearl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/c6ce4c63-8dc1-4aef-978c-2f951dacc4b6/17D37EFB-1B79-4464-A715-14298B126D84_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "What I've learned over this past year is we all experienced the impact of a pandemic differently. We are more empathetic to others because we see how our government has failed to support and take care of our most vulnerable, families, working class people, low income families, migrant workers and essential workers. We, as a community, stayed strong. Even when we ourselves are struggling we took time to reach out to someone or help another person in some way." - Elizabeth Ha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/e716d98b-0ed8-4f02-a32a-664c89890f52/FB99F12C-2F97-4F55-8085-B2E80F3FB41B_1_105_c.jpeg 100+ Lessons "This year, the most important thing I have learned is that bringing a heritage building into tomorrow's urban plan has no shortcuts - the painstaking work of studies, listening and raising capital is often more than any group of charities can muster. Cities-sized solutions needed city-wide planning!" - Graham Singh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed075212ba91b2099ee43f9/66c1b183-e49e-4640-bb3f-67d838c3736d/4B6A1EBF-EE19-4DE9-BDF2-09C0ABA5B775.png 100+ Lessons "The value of our public spaces cannot be taken for granted, as we've been sheltering the resilience of our communities have shown how we can adapt and the need for common space is integral to our wellbeing." - Ebrahim Varachia
