#Mnemotechny. Urban history & design. Civic literacy. Is practitioner equity in city planning possible when its faces don't echo a city?

Weird to see @jen_keesmaat call #freetransit "ridiculous" at the transit debate. She didn't seem to think it was ridiculous for Paris to consider it. We RT'd this tweet of hers a while back: https://t.co/BxG1Bc643N #TOPoli #TransitDebateTO

Los Angeles & Minneapolis exercise neighbourhood-level governance decisions in part by neighbourhood councils — members of the neighbourhood elected by the neighbourhood, to inform their councillor on how to vote on city affairs.

Here's how Mpls did it: https://t.co/wv9ZroSQTw

Some of Toronto's most significant storm accumulations of flood water tonight occurred along the reclaimed & redeveloped fill lands of the waterfront, all south of Lake Ontario's natural shoreline at Front Street. #onstorm #planninghistory

@howiechong The ravines, valleys, & Black Creek watershed (e.g., Symes Park flood) worked exactly as they were formed naturally. Flooding on Dupont, King & Wilson/Keele was mostly confined to subways (original sense of the word, what we now describe as "underpasses").

@purva_creations I don't work for the city, but the City of Toronto does have a long-term plan for flood management: https://t.co/AdGvTjP8y4

In 2016, the city additionally produced a report on how to manage weather events brought about due to anthropogenic climate change: https://t.co/yu5SVkQ1c0

Hi @PaiToronto! I was a patron tonite & lost an iPod nano by your bar. It's filled w/ DJ Five-to-Midnight sessions. Keep an eye out? Thanks!

@David_Sucher This would be a great reading group to start! Unfortunately, I am not in Seattle. Sorry!

@c_9 Glad you enjoyed it!

@c_9 Found my un-played copy at one of the once-monthly storehouse repository sales Let It Be Records in Minneapolis used to host.

@c_9 It's the original sample version before they were ordered to re-issue with changed samples best known today: https://t.co/02tZ2KtfNI
