<h3 id="format">Workshop Format</h3>
<p class="text-left">On October 17 <strong>Sidewalk Toronto</strong>
(<a href="https://sidewalktoronto.ca/">sidewalktoronto.ca
<i class="fas fa-link"></i></a>) was announced as a partnership
between City of Toronto and Sidewalk Labs, an Alphabet company
(along with Google). The stated goal is to create a "new type of
mixed-use, urban community" through redevelopment of Toronto's
Quayside, 12 acres on the waterfront. This partnership comes with
a $50 million USD investment as Sidewalk Labs engages in a public
consultation process over the next year (Lorinc, 2017). The
project materials, particularly Sidewalk Labs' vision statement,
frames Quayside as an "urban living laboratory," that will be
"built from the internet up" (2017). Already, local scholars,
urbanists, organizers, and civic technologists have asked perceptive
and important questions about the nature of the partnership, project
governance, data and technology infrastructure, and engagement
(Wylie, 2017b). However breaking from this more measured approach,
Waterfront for All
(<a href="http://www.waterfrontforall.ca/">waterfrontforall.ca
<i class="fas fa-link"></i></a>), the most historically active
community group association concerned with Waterfront development,
has already come out in support. Throughout there has been little
to no consultation with Indigenous Peoples and organizations to
make sure that Indigenous perspectives are heard, honoured, and
incorporated.</p>
<p class="text-left">Through a three-hour guided "walkshop" at the
proposed Sidewalk Toronto site, participants will engage with
differing perspectives and viewpoints at the intersection of
emerging ICTs, smart cities discourse, critical place inquiry and
sustainability through a series of micro-interventions led by
three lecturers: <strong>Susannah Bunce, Beth Coleman, Daniel Rotsztain</strong>
who will guide us through perspectives on the history of
urban development here in Toronto that led to the “opening up” of
Waterfront Toronto for Smart City innovation, how framing Smart
Cities as platforms situates residents, and looking at historical
analogues to think through embodied relations to the city and its
built environment.</p>

Dr. Susannah Bunce is an Assistant Professor in the Department
of Human Geography at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
Her research explores socio-environmental processes and
practices of community engagement in urban neighbourhoods. Her
recent book, Sustainability Policy, Planning, and Gentrification
in Cities (Routledge, 2017), examines processes and practices
of environmental gentrification in cities such as Toronto,
London, New York, and Paris. The book is based upon her PhD
dissertation which studied the redevelopment plans for
Toronto's waterfront from 2000-2008.
