Assistant Professor Linda Zhang's short film 'Chinatown 2050' recently premiered at the 22nd annual DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver. The film, a collaboration with Maxim Gertler-Jaffe, is "a visual collage of dreamlike LiDAR 3D modeling scans" that asks how might the pandemic shape the future of Toronto’s Chinatown? Five scenarios tackling this question are imagined through this technology by Asian-Canadian youth with the hope to preserve vibrant streetscapes rather than create an empty tourist attraction.

Christine Lolley (BES '01, MArch '05), principal at Solares Architecture, a Toronto firm specializing in laneway houses joined host Steve Paikin; Tim Parks, director of planning services, the City of Kingston; Gregg Lintern, chief planner and executive director, City Planning Division, City of Toronto; and Angèle Dmytruk, architect and partner at 3rd Line Studio on The Agenda, to discuss laneway houses, how are they zoned, and can their availability help alleviate the housing crisis plaguing Ontario cities.
