This year has been one of major change. But what doesn’t change here is talking about transit. It’s the return of Tricia Wood (York University urban geography professor and Spacing contributor) and Matt Elliott(Toronto Star columnist and publisher of the City Hall Watcher newsletter). They help us unpack the state of public transportation in Toronto and the surrounding region, warts and all.
We talk about restoring faith in the TTC, the battle of competing transit projects, the Federal budget, and why cars still take priority over transit in Toronto.

Change in cities is often slow, when using official channels. There is a desire to achieve the perfect plan, one that balances everyone's needs an preferences. But sometimes you need to get down and dirty.
In this episode, we talk to three of the co-editors of the new book Messy Cities: why we can't plan everything. Spacing Executive Editor Dylan Reid, public interest designer Zahra Ebrahim, and CivicAction CEO Leslie Woo talk about this collection of essays that embraces the beautiful messiness of urban communities.
And Danielle Goldfinger, executive director of The Laneway Project, tells us about a recent project aimed at helping communities make the most of their laneways.
