& Resources
1. We need artists now more than ever
Public spaces and public art play a crucial role during times of uncertainty. In urban areas, as temperatures have begun to rise, physical distancing measures are being put to the test as residents yearn to be out in shared spaces and for community connection. Within artistic and creative communities, dynamic and collaborative ideas are in abundance.
2. Connectivity is essential
Many of us have transitioned our personal and professional lives online. The long tail of the pandemic poses questions about how much of the public realm will shift from the physical to the digital. Panelists suggest that the answer is likely a hybrid. But they also noted that the physical urban experience is irreplaceable in many ways, offering incomparable forms of human connection.
3. The next phase of recovery will occur in public space
If we intend to redesign our public spaces to be more resilient, adaptable, and attuned to the new needs of residents, policymakers must incorporate the voices of architects and designers, artists, artisans, and other creatives from the very beginning. The expertise of public space partners is essential to finding new ways to inspire and connect community members during this challenging time.
4. A fertile moment for experimentation
While this pandemic has bred so much distress, it is also an important moment for designers to redefine the “essential parts” of public space, and reexamine disciplinary intent and the challenges of delivering art, culture, and connection. For architects, for example, the global pause on production creates an opportunity for a broader conversation about the role of architects in contributing to conversations about equity, social practice, and accessibility in the built form.
5. Thinking global and local
While we may not be experiencing these challenges equally, we are all globally connected in a shared experience. We must think at both the local and global level – considering

12:14:54 From Bridget MacIntosh: Agreed @mojan (hello!) Fantastic. Thanks CUI for bringing together such a great panel.
12:14:58 From Carl Novikoff: Hi all! – Carl Novikoff from Toronto
12:15:28 From Toby Greenbaum to All panelists: Hello from very humid Ottawa!
12:15:28 From Catherine Soplet: Meetings now are more intentional and intense, because we are not as able to read body language and facial cues.
WEbinars are in many ways unidirectional, so not able to request people to repeat their statement or interject to get clarification on information.
12:15:55 From Sara Udow: Hi @Erika! Curious to learn more about what TAC is doing soon!:)
12:15:58 From Jonathan Giggs: from Port Credit in Mississauga
12:16:53 From Robert Matas: zoom land is privatizing discussions that were previously in the public realm. the digital divide is excluding a lot of people from events and discussions
12:18:06 From Becca Mayers to All panelists: Great comment from Robert. This is especially true when public libraries are closed, which are popular spaces for access to to technology and internet.
12:19:33 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: Please access images for today’s webinar here:
https://www.canurb.org/public-space-gallery
12:19:58 From Brad Bass: Like vibrant streetscapes, the loss of public space is a direct loss of socio-economic welfare that can be measured. It is this measurement that we can use to move policy from different levels of government. It is this measure that can help build the argument that public space is an essential infrastructure component of our economy. Fortunately, it can be measured in dollars.
12:20:48 From Jerrica Gilbert to All panelists: Interesting point Brad
12:23:55 From susan wright to All panelists: Agree Ilana – and artists can play a key role in building public trust in venturing out and engaging with others in public space
12:24:17 From Canadian Urban Institute: Reminding attendees to please change your chat settings to “all panelists and attendees” so everyone can see your comments.
12:24:20 From Tracy Tang: As an artist (who is also a planner), many of us as artists are developing and sharing art in different ways and using different spaces both private and public – front windows, balconies, yards, driveways, sidewalks, roads, trails, sharing online, producing exhibitions shared via mail and other delivery systems. The work may be more ephemeral right now and depending on the space may actually be reaching more people. Are there any other ideas the panelists may have on how artists can connect their art with the public at these levels?
12:24:49 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: itsallrightnow.ca
12:25:13 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: https://www.itsallrightnow.ca
12:25:35 From susan wright: Resending to all: Agree Ilana – and artists can play a key role in building public trust in venturing out and engaging with others in public space
12:27:40 From Jennifer Roth: I don’t view online as a public realm at all… never would have even considered this.
12:28:22 From Jerrica Gilbert to All panelists: I wonder if there is something to be said here on the cultural erosion of the divide between public and private space. How do we locate digital space between the two spheres?
12:29:28 From Leigh Stickle: Given the expectation that gatherings will have to be smaller, more atomized, more decentralized, they will require more careful planning and organizing… this is where online realm will be crucial
12:29:58 From Caitlin Ottenbreit: I’m interested in the collapsing of private and public spaces – if online is our primary public space, yet we’re interacting with it in our private spaces, what does that mean for the ways we interact with and understand art and public presence?
12:31:04 From Dina Graser to All panelists: The nature of the audience experience – the sense of communality that usually accompanies a crowd – will also be very different and interest, both for the audiences themselves and the performers.
12:31:13 From Robert McKaye to All panelists: Do libraries need to be indoors? Artistic and design thinking has the chance to challenge and rethink some of the typologies and models of spaces that we take for granted.
12:31:20 From Dina Graser: The nature of the audience experience – the sense of communality that usually accompanies a crowd – will also be very different and interest, both for the audiences themselves and the performers.
12:31:27 From Leigh Stickle: Not to mention the fact that ‘public’ online space is almost always presented/experienced through a privatised filter or frame
12:31:32 From Robert McKaye: Do libraries need to be indoors? Artistic and design thinking has the chance to challenge and rethink some of the typologies and models of spaces that we take for granted.
12:31:55 From Jennifer Roth: I think a physical space should be easily interpreted for the user to follow physical distancing measures.
12:32:21 From Natasha Apollonova to All panelists: Instead of shaming people for using parks (thinking last weekend’s situation with one of the parks in Toronto), how likely are we to use technology solutions for our cities in Canada to help guide people towards an appropriate use?
12:32:33 From Reza Nik: how about the selection process? how are artists chosen for public art projects? how exclusive is it? and how can we improve the process In Toronto, it seems like a small exclusive group of artists…..
12:33:06 From Abby S: In a cold weather climate…it is harder to enjoy outdoor public spaces throughout the year. Will we be consigned to public art events only in temperate weather?
12:33:32 From Kirsten Frankish to All panelists: Lots of libraries have already been revisioning how to serve their communities, including accessing resources from home and being able to offer items and services outside the traditional library items of books, films, music, etc. I think there will be a continued growth and shift in this area as additional needs and expectations are identified to support communities.
12:33:40 From Ciara McKeown: Ciara here – I think collapsing public and private needs critical consideration, given issues of privacy, intellectual property, how do the artists get paid not co-opted?
12:33:41 From Abby S: Especially for elderly who have always supported arts (traditional settings).
12:33:52 From Lisa Shkut: see Winnipeg in the winter-amazing public art events that are staged outdoors!
12:34:16 From Abby S: Yes, Winnipeg does a remarkable job…
12:34:51 From Abby S: Smiling is hard to see under masks, which is really a challenge.
12:36:24 From Louis Conway to All panelists: Perhaps there will be an intersection of the digital realm with public space in the form of an ‘augmented reality’ space.
12:37:50 From Susan Chin: How might we work more closely with policymakers and other stakeholders to reinvent public? or should this be more on a tactical guerilla basis?
12:37:56 From Brad Bass: We do have a formalized way to reconcile opposite into a solution that is not a compromise, nor just a straightforward combination. It is the method of Integrative Thinking developed by Roger Martin, the former Dean of the Rotman School (University of Toronto). I am going to pilot this method to find that resolution between completely digital and completely in person for running my student modeling program.
12:38:01 From Toby Greenbaum: Montreal did a great job on their 350 birthday using digital projections and apps for sound all over Old Montreal.
12:38:31 From Leigh Stickle: I think Guillaume hit on something really important- how can we assess what people WANT, and then find best way to facilitate. Working with desire not against
12:38:35 From Toby Greenbaum: all to be experienced you walked through Old Montreal.
12:39:30 From Abby S: THe Montreal project was so surprising and delightful…
12:39:43 From Brad Bass: To insert yourselves, provide policymakers with a measure of the loss that we are experiencing. We did this in estimating the loss of welfare due to algal blooms on Lake Erie (see Harmful Algae, July 2019)
12:40:36 From Jerrica Gilbert: I agree @caitlin and @ciara. Digital space does not fall neatly between public nor private realms, and is becoming heavily capitalized by large corporations. How do we navigate these issues as citizens, artists, policy makers?
12:41:05 From Erika Hennebury: sans facon
12:41:11 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: https://www.watershedplus.ca
12:41:11 From Brad Bass: Yes, other people should do the measurement, but it will have to involve artists as well as the rest of us. Policymakers will not do this. It has to be provided to them.
12:41:24 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: Please help CUI improve its CityTalk programming with a short post-webinar survey – https://bit.ly/2ZDPaGg
12:41:28 From Irena Kohn: https://www.watershedplus.com/
12:41:29 From Canadian Urban Institute: https://www.watershedplus.com/
12:42:39 From Sara Udow: Watershedplus was amazing. Hiba Abdallah, a friend and artist, was part of watershed+ and ended up working with Calgary for 7 years and having real input on how to engage with the public about stormwater management. Great work Sans Facon!
12:42:46 From Brad Bass: Why policymakers respond best to a measurement, especially one provided in $, is another theme for discussion and exploration.
12:43:08 From Sara Udow: https://hibaabdallah.com/plus
12:43:11 From Alexis Kane Speer: @tracy The STEPS Initiative (www.stepsinitiative.com) is supporting Canadian artists and community groups to create publicly visible artwork in private spaces. We’d love to hear what you’re up to!
12:44:15 From Tanya Sinclair: Diversity and Inclusion in artist selection is key to create spaces with public art that reflects the varied richness of the community through various lens. I would hope that is part of the selection process. How are Arts & Culture organizations and agencies making this a priority?
12:44:16 From Erika Hennebury: Toronto Arts Council has a new public art program called Animating Toronto Streets https://torontoartscouncil.org/grant-programs/tac-grants/animating-toronto-streets.
12:45:35 From Canadian Urban Institute: CUI is looking for volunteers to help us continue the great work of our COVID-19 initiatives. If you can help, please contact us at covidresponse@canurb.org
12:46:52 From Stuart Keeler to All panelists: excellent question and precedent citation
12:48:31 From Dina Graser: Arguably climate change is also a global phenomenon that we are all going through, but this somehow feels more personal.
12:49:05 From Alex C: There is a lot of great info on this chat, is there a way to save this and share with all?
12:49:35 From Desi S to All panelists: You can copy and paste the entire chat if you’d like (if it’s not shared with the group)
12:50:17 From Canadian Urban Institute: Alex, the webinar is recorded and saved with a transcript of the webinar and the chat on our website. It is usually up in about two days.
12:50:23 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: Please help CUI improve its CityTalk programming with a short post-webinar survey – https://bit.ly/2ZDPaGg
12:50:38 From Canadian Urban Institute: You can find transcripts and recordings of today’s and all our webinars at https://www.canurb.org/citytalk
12:51:03 From Surita Dey to All panelists: Many great ideas/initiatives. Who is financing any such projects?
12:51:51 From Julie DuPont to All panelists: Artists, as right brain creative thinkers, are missing from the multidisciplinary problem solving discussion table. This is an crucial time for creatives to be valued as equals amongst disciplines, working collaboratively on recovery, climate, equity etc..
12:54:11 From Bridget MacIntosh: Some additional research / discussion from “The Journal of Public Space” to complement this discussion about public art / public space. https://www.journalpublicspace.org/index.php/jps/navigationMenu/view/covid-19
12:55:09 From Canadian Urban Institute: Keep the conversation going #citytalk @canurb
12:55:27 From Guillaume Aniorté to Natasha Apollonova and all panelists: Very interesting paper about the future of post-Covid19 public space that I highly recommend https://www.dailytouslesjours.com/fr/projets/living-room-reflections-on-getting-together
12:55:45 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: From Guillaume: Very interesting paper about the future of post-Covid19 public space that I highly recommend https://www.dailytouslesjours.com/fr/projets/living-room-reflections-on-getting-together
12:56:59 From Jeremy Diamond to All panelists: As the head of Myseum of Toronto, a museum without walls who works closely with communities and public spaces, this has been an informative and relevant discussion. Thx to all the panellists!
12:58:22 From Elizabeth Jassem to All panelists: FABULOUS DISCUSSION. THANK YOU MARY.CUI AND SUCH GREAT PANEL
12:58:56 From Brad Bass: What is great is about the Bentway is that sense of experimentation with the meaning of public space. It would be great to start adding wetlands. This has been done in NYC, with above ground wetlands, that are relatively quick and easy to construct.
12:59:18 From Catherine Soplet: Planting trees for climate change research in low tree canopy areas is a way to bring together people of different cultures in common purpose. Join ACER Canada in Bramalea SNAP in October; https://bit.ly/ProjectCrossroads_Profile_Jan-2020
12:59:39 From Emily Wall, CUI Staff: Please help CUI improve its CityTalk programming with a short post-webinar survey – https://bit.ly/2ZDPaGg
13:00:06 From Eunan Quinn: Thank you to everyone.
13:00:23 From André Callà: Art can be used to facilitate dialogue with policymakers. Arts and culture can be used as a form of discovery and language creating a loop between policymakers and those most impacted by policy decisions. An example is ProjectHeal program.
13:00:28 From Leigh Stickle: Thanks all
13:00:32 From Toby Greenbaum: great session! thanks
13:00:42 From André Callà: Great session, thank you all!
