In this new episode of the Urban Soundwalks series, I take you to Toronto, the largest city in Canada, for an immersive sound exploration. Through this walk, discover how this complex and ever-evolving metropolis is working to reweave ecological connections across its urban fabric, combining the repurposing of existing infrastructure, applied scientific research, and citizen-led micro-projects.

Special thanks to Katie Turnbull, Patricia Lewis (from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority), and Sullivan Dyment (artist involved in the Pocket Community Association) for their insightful contributions.

Available in both French and original English versions on all streaming platforms.
