Urban Edge Lecture Series: Water in the Sustainable City

As part of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee’s Urban Edge Lecture Series “Water in the Sustainable City”, Brent Raymond and Yvonne Battista, will speak about a number of DTAH’s recent water-centric landscape and urban design projects, including the Toronto Waterfront (including East Bayfront, Queens Quay and Toronto Port Lands), Edgely Pond and Park, and the Brampton Riverwalk. This online lecture series highlights water’s core role in the sustainability of cities.

Brent and Yvonne will tell the story of how cities have settled along the water’s edge throughout history, which has fundamentally altered water and flood patterns over time. The DTAH projects highlight an understanding of local and regional scales with a return to sustainable and natural complementary patterns for stormwater management, strengthen the local ecology and create dynamic spaces for people.

Access the virtual lecture via Zoom on October 23, 2020 at 2.30 to 4.30pm EST (1.30pm to 3.30pm Central). Link to lecture here
