Continuing to deconstruct #smartcitiescanada, this time in the context of #sustainability. Thx to @Concordia *Sustainability in the City and Beyond* conference organizers for the invite, and to @ns_ahmed for enriching the session with his presentation on #opensmartcities.
Some schools have journals, @mcgillu Urban Planning school has a zine. And it’s🔥🔥🔥! Two of our members, @HoMan99 & @francuzb, contributed to the latest issue, with a thought or two on #smartcitiescanada challenge.🇨🇦

Privileged to have the opportunity to share our #youthengagement experience at #FCCSummit2018 yesterday. The fruitful conversations we had with everyone give us hope that youth will have a much greater role in decision making, both today and in the future.
We look fwd to engaging in more #smartcity debates with youth across Canada in the coming months & working to increase youth engagement in urban life together w/ fab orgs @urbanmindsTO @cityhivevan @youthfulcities @digitaljustlab

We are spending our Sunday morning @Fearless_Cities conf in #NYC with amazing organizers from @GGENYC! Thank you for sharing how youth, and esp girls, can step up in municipal politics. Note: adults must create spaces for them too! ⬇️
“It takes adult accomplices to make your people’s voices heard” Most city council hearings happen while young people are in school. They can’t always be present where policy is made, so it’s important to really listen and represent them accurately. #fc18 #fearlesscities @GGENYC
Before the impending reunion in #Montreal, our team is spread across the world this summer, learning from the best along the way. @francuzb visited @we_are_CUP in #NYC to learn abt their uses of art to make urban policy accessible and engaging. His takeaway: “impressed!”
Interested in #municipalism? A bold idea on how to make #cities more inclusive and solutions driven. Here is a primer from our very own @francuzb published for a progressive blog in America’s Midwest.
For some it’s #summervacation, for us it’s project dev time. Happy to have submitted request to #smartcitiescanada @INFC_eng to support our work going fwd.
A big thanks to all partners, mentors &advisors who helped us along the way!

Looking back at #ICLEI2018 it's notable to see the recognition that inclusion & inclusive community engagement are recognized as one main takeaways. @ICLEI
"Sustainable urban development is fundamentally about cities designed with, for and by all."

Pushing back against #inclusion as just a check box is really what inspired our work! In conversation with #smartcitiescanada applicants it was great to see they are thinking similarly. xitter.cf/cities4people/status/1…
