| 2/13/25 |  Development & Redevelopment: Conversations from the Summit | Day 2 of CUI's State of Canada's Summit in Ottawa (December 2024) offered something new to attendees - walking tours of innovative project sites. Our microphones joined Brad Rodgers and Ana Bailao of Dream Unlimited for a tour of Zibi, a net-zero community being developed on the banks of the Ottawa River.

| 2/7/25 |  Local Matters: Community Wealth Building with Heather Hachigian | Bolstering Canada's local economies has become an instant priority in the wake of proposed actions by the Trump administration.

| 2/5/25 |  Local Matters: Supporting Community Businesses - A Conversation with Dan Kelly of the CFIB | We interrupt CUI's post-State of Canada's Cities Summit programming for some timely conversation about economic resilience.

Dan Kelly is the CEO and Chair of the Board of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), whose thousands of members' economic activity rep... | 22m 11s | ||||||
| 1/27/25 |  Culture, Equity, and Infrastructure: Conversations from the Summit | Mention infrastructure, and it's hard not to picture things like public buildings, transit systems and water/power distribution. However, other vital elements of urban society are, or should be, integrated into those things and need to be part of their design. This episode's two featured panels, recorded at CUI's State of Canada's Summit in December 2024, explore those elements - culture and social equity - in the context of Infrastructure. Some of the featured voices include Isabelle ... | 55m 13s | ||||||
| 1/27/25 |  Building Better, Building Beautiful: Conversations from the Summit | The dozen panel discussions recorded in December 2024 on Day One of CUI's State of Canada's Cities Summit revolved around urban infrastructure in all its modern permutations, and how we need to build it better, faster and more sustainably. However, that doesn't preclude its ability to also add beauty and contribute to our collective well-being. The first featured panel in this episode delves into that topic, guided by Alex Bozikovic, architecture critic for The Globe and Mail. And to w... | 1h 05m 27s | ||||||

| 1/14/25 |  Setting the Agenda: Conversations from the Summit | As host Mary Rowe stated early in this series, once you understand what infrastructure is, you can't help but see it everywhere around you. This episode features two discussions recorded at the State of Canada's Cities Summit in Ottawa last December, both dealing with bricks-and-mortar aspects of infrastructure; a session on securing real estate and lands needed to address the housing gap, and another on perhaps the most urgently needed resource - climate-ready infrastructure.

| 1/10/25 |  Infrastructure for Wellbeing: Conversations from the Summit | Where do you start two days of conversation about the issues around infrastructure in all its modern urban permutations?

This episode recorded in December 2024 at the State of Canada's Cities Summit in Ottawa features a panel discussion titled Mental Health Matters: Building Supportive Main Streets & Downtowns,&nbsp... | 48m 00s | ||||||

| 1/10/25 |  Infrastructure and Canada’s Future: Conversations from the Summit | As the past few episodes of CityTalk:The Podcast have previewed, hundreds of city builders and place makers met in Ottawa on Dec.5th/6th for the 2024 State of Canada's Cities Summit, presented by the Canadian Urban Institute... and where the core topic explored was infrastructure in all its iterations.
