  • The Parisian Calgary that could have been

    The Parisian Calgary that could have been
    2025/03/04
    In 1977, a 100-page hand-painted plan for a white, stone, European-style Calgary was discovered in the walls of a garage. The illustrations show a totally different vision for the city, with wide, stone boulevards, artificial lagoons and grand, classical buildings. While the plan was expensive for a frontier town of 80,000 people and was swiftly shelved with the outbreak of the First World War, the beauty of those drawings captured Calgarians' imaginations when they were rediscovered. What if Calgary had been built like Paris, with beauty at its core? What even is “beautiful”? And who gets to decide? In this episode, we’re telling the story of the English gardener Thomas Mawson who wanted to make his colonialist mark on Calgary, and explore how power uses architecture to tell stories.

  • Is expropriation the solution to a housing crisis? The majority of Berliners think so

    Is expropriation the solution to a housing crisis? The majority of Berliners think so
    2025/02/18
    Is expropriation, or forcing corporations to sell apartments to the government, a way to ease the housing crisis? Berlin seems to think so. In a landmark referendum back in 2021, the majority of Berliners voted ‘yes’ to forced sales, calling for the government to buy 240,000 apartments owned by some of Berlin’s mega landlords - whether they want to sell or not. Some call the strategy “radical” but needed. Others say it’s unconstitutional. But is it a viable solution to Berlin’s housing crisis, and could it work here in Canada? In this episode, we dive into the history behind Berlin’s expropriation campaign and try to figure out if a similar referendum on housing could succeed on this side of the Atlantic.

  • Pedal politics: How Toronto’s bike lanes became so divisive

    Pedal politics: How Toronto’s bike lanes became so divisive
    2025/02/04
    Study after study shows that bike lanes make roads safer for everyone and have a minimal effect on traffic congestion. Yet, in Canadian cities, they’re not always popular. In Toronto, they’re arguably the most divisive piece of road infrastructure, with the Ontario government introducing a plan to remove bike lanes on three major streets in the city and restrict new ones from being built. In this episode of City Space, we’re looking at Toronto’s complicated history with bike lanes and how they became so political.
