What defines a world class city? Some of the things we can think of include: architecture, nightlife, art and culture, infrastructure and transit. We also believe that public spaces should be\u00a0right at the top of that list.<\/p>\n

Public spaces are one of the\u00a0most\u00a0important\u00a0fibers in the “fabric of society” and\u00a0they help define the character of a city. <\/em>As the centers of community life, public spaces\u00a0bring people together and they connect us to the city and to each other.<\/p>\n

Public spaces are an important part of a city’s political and social life; which is why our Library District Condominiums<\/a> will be\u00a0connected to a community park and to Toronto’s 100th public library.<\/p>\n

In addition, because we strongly believe in the power of public spaces, we’ll also be exploring and analysing their \u00a0importance in our new\u00a0Public Spaces <\/em>series<\/em><\/strong>. We’ll also be taking a look at the past present and future of \u00a0libraries in Toronto and the world in our\u00a0Library series<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Great public spaces define world class cities and we’re excited about using our blog to celebrate their importance in shaping our cities.<\/p>\n
