Topic: Art as an Approach to City-building

After describing my methods, I will share highlights from my projects — including All the Libraries Toronto, Development Proposal, and the Social Distance Machine — that have contributed to city-building campaigns with playful visualizations and impactful communications.’ – Daniel
