Learning Cities: the role of universities in the city
TOL_Cities

TOL CITIES is a mini-series about cities-related research.  Beyond the usual city-related topics, this series takes on wide ranging issues shaping cities including cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, incubators, design, and the role of universities. Big ideas, unscripted conversations about cities - this is TOL CITIES. 

TOL CITIES Episodes 1-6 are hosted by Ed Greenspon (Public Policy Forum) - these arose from a series of roundtables held across Canada, produced by Concordia University and the Public Policy Forum. Episode 7 is hosted by Silvano de la Llata (Concordia University) who was part of the Next City Vanguard hosting committee in 2017 at Concordia.

He previously served as Editor-at-large at Bloomberg, worked for Torstar Corp (publisher of the Toronto Star) as Vice President of Strategic Investments. At the Globe and Mail, Greenspon was a business reporter and editor, serving as Editor-in-Chief, Ottawa bureau chief, European correspondent, and founding editor of globeandmail.com.
