Overview
"In the landscape of the 21st century, nothing looms larger than culture. It is
the new infrastructure, the civic bedrock on which the most successful
modern metropolises are built. Culture is to the contemporary city what
roads, sewers and bridges were in the 19th and early 20th centuries. “
Christopher Hume, Urban Affairs Columnist, Toronto Star
