Abstract

The Fall 2018 series of the City Talks will kick off with a panel discussion on alternative urbanisms in Victoria. Panelists will discuss their own experiences promoting diverse visions of the city and region through a range of initiatives including youth-driven indigenous land restoration (Project Reclaim), the Support Network for Indigenous Women and Women of Colour (SNIWWOC), urban place-making (the Greater Victoria Placemaking Network), transportation planning (Victoria Transport Policy Institute), and anarchist festivals (Victoria Anarchist Bookfair).
