COURSE DESCRIPTION:
How can we ensure the growth of Toronto, Canada's largest and fastest-growing city, is climate resilient? What role do landscape architects play in implementing resilience? How do we design for Nature-based Solutions: What are the Rights of Nature?
This session will provide an overview of Toronto's path to becoming a resilient city, including the use of nature-based solutions and the role of innovative, thoughtful landscape architecture. Participants will also gain better understanding of the tools Toronto has used to encourage nature based solutions including the Biodiversity, Ravine and Resilience Strategies, the Toronto Green Standard and Green Roof Bylaw. The session engages with the audience about their views of resilience. The question is: how successful are nature based design solutions in addressing resilience in an urban environment? Do Toronto's policies, implementation tools and actions adequately address resilience in the light of future shocks and stresses? What should we be doing and what are the gaps and opportunities?
