From June 19-22, 2013, OCAD University’s Faculty of Design presented Urban Ecologies 2013, a conference that examined the impact of emerging categories of research and practice that are shaping the future of design in our cities: visualizing information, thinking systems, regenerating cities, building health, and creating community. This publication updates and expands the content first presented at the conference, and features content by Teddy Cruz, Peter Hall, Terreform ONE, and over one hundred individual contributors.
