Critical Conversation: The Affordable City: Wealth and Wellbeing

Diana Chan McNally

7:00pm

Sunday, September 25

Each day of the Festival, authors and industry experts will come together for candid, live conversations to examine a new facet of the culture and politics that shape the world around us and the books we read.

The city is our dominant social model, but if so few can afford to live well in cities, why is this the case? The pandemic shook up our relationship with work and living; is this an opportunity to reshape our cities? Taking Toronto as a starting point, this panel will discuss how can we offer access, amenities and affordable housing for all. Panelists include Diana Chan McNally, Shawn Micallef and John Lornic.

Moderated by Aditi Mehta.
