Crazydames

Happy #InternationalWomxnsDay! To celebrate, heres a look on the original Crazy Dame. While we don’t agree w all of Jane Jacobs ideas, she was instrumental in ground-up urbanism, a welcomed shift from top-down planning (that still continues today) citylab.com/equity/2011/11…

Co-founder @sarauds talks about diminishing creative spaces in TO w/ @globeandmail. “We...use art and culture to attract tourists and economic development, but we don’t actually plan on how to support artists and cultural producers within cities.” tinyurl.com/y53tveat @LaVjosa

Listening to webinar from @massculture_ -great Q about arts-based engagement. We believe we need to plan WITH arts/culture and not just FOR it. Engaging artists/cultural producers in process can make planning fun, generate new idea + reach ppl often left out #MCDigital
