Couldn’t be me, randomly at the @NHL 2008 draft in Ottawa, wearing full Leafs kit, this sign jokingly in hand for a Canadian prospect, when the @MapleLeafs trade up for the 5th pick and select … Luke Schenn. Trade news of the decade today 😂#hearttrophy#harttrophy
We are now MurrayTwohig.
Founded 4 years ago, the change from Wordsearch Place reflects our evolution into an international #placemaking strategy business that will also act as a developer on major mixed-use projects in the future.

#TTC’s Future Rapid Transit map is making the rounds - but Toronto’s future transit story is about passenger rail, too. Better train services + new stations are coming, sooner. My (amateur!) adaptation adds @Metrolinx GO + UPX to the TTC-operated subway, LRT and streetcar mix:
It’s more important than ever to have meaningful conversations about the places we’re creating.
So, we’ve launched a fun, free, remote-work-friendly tool to help our network talk about place with their teams. Check out #thePlaceGame here:

#WeTheChamps is one great 2019 @Raptors legacy. Canada’s 50+ Jurassic Parks is another. I wrote for @Spacing Issue 51 about these pop-up events, and how cities + #publicspace can be ready to embrace the next opportunity to celebrate.
In the second part of our July/August feature on development, David Twohig argues that the developer's vision is an important deciding factor in building meaningful experiences within a project.

Thank you! #EGTechAwards19
Boom! @wordsearchLDN takes the win for #placemaking (property) at the #egtechawards for showing just how far placemaking can go to transform buildings, spaces, places and entire cities.
Places = People = Profit
Wordsearch Place directors Dave Twohig + @WilliamMurray16 chat with @EstatesGazette about investing in place, their capitalist-and-idealist dynamic, and “holidaying” together

Activation, profile, income, social benefit - there are so many good reasons to do Meanwhile Uses.
N. American cities + developers should learn from Europe #meanwhilespace best practice. Start with @The_Meanwhile@meanwhile_space + @popupcity

Worth a listen, esp. Ontario pals: @EricKlinenberg on @99piorg. His research shows that social infrastructure (libraries!) creates neighbourliness, improves public health + even saves lives in extreme weather.

The Ghost Map by @stevenbjohnson is one favourite read. A reminder that some of planning’s first roots were public health - and we’ve come full circle today with a focus on creating healthy, happy cities. #WorldBookDay@OntarioPlanners
It's World Book Day. RPPs and Planners, if you had to recommend a single book to aspiring planners, planning-related or otherwise, what would it be? Don't hold out on us! #WorldBookDay
An easy #EarthDay commitment: sanity check your waste sorting with your city’s latest rules - like @cityoftoronto#WasteWizard. I was so surprised to learn ✅ I can #recycle Styrofoam and ❌ not frozen food boxes.
