Covering the period from the end of the 19th century to present day, John Lorinc's presentation, “Evolution of Retail: From
Streetcar Suburbs to Strip Malls' examined how transportation shaped Toronto's urban form. Chronicling the evolution of Toronto's St. Clair West streetcar line, Lorinc pointed out that mass transportation predated both residential and commercial growth. Laying tracks long before it was necessary, the streetcar has proven to be beneficial for main streets as it promotes efficient and compact density. Delaying the need for individual vehicles, streetcar and pedestrian traffic sustained diverse retailers along the street. Generous sidewalks, shorter blocks, retail on both sides of the street, and a typology of buildings with retail at grade, apartments above, and rear alley access all support successful main streets. Lorinc drew parallels
between older streetcar-based main streets and contemporary strip malls, both of which offer affordable spaces for independent
business owners today.

In Catherine Nasmith's presentation, "Main Streets as an Old-Growth Forest", she argued that historic main streets should be treated with the same care, protection, and consideration as old-growth forests. Main streets, like old-growth forests, evolve over long periods of time and are continuously reshaped. What makes main streets precious is their "diverse ecosystem" of public space and independent retailers. Nasmith warned of "invasive species" threatening the survival of main streets, including tax policies, rent increases, and the loss of fine-grain property ownership through land amalgamation which often lead to condominium developments and corporate retail anchors.

Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam's presentation "On the tip of my Yonge," addressed the municipal challenges and responses of protecting her self-proclaimed favorite street in the city: Yonge Street. For her, protection is about more than just saving the bricks and mortar of heritage buildings, it is about defending the vibrancy of main streets. Responding to the 2018 Taxed Out study undertaken by Ryerson's City Building Institute, the City convinced Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) to reassess the property tax rate of the businesses on Yonge Street by citing its designation as a heritage conservation district (HCD). This designation limits property owners' level of allowed development, and thus their "highest and best-use" potential, which MPAC uses to set rates, and means they cannot be compared to properties outside of the HCD. However, as Wong-Tam pointed out, this is only a shortterm solution. Recognizing the importance of community engagement in both heritage protection and development, Wong-Tam also acknowledged that public discourse is often dominated by a vocal few. Councillor Wong-Tam pointed out, however, that this not the only way to get your voice heard, and cited an independent report released by KPMB Architects and Greenberg Consultants that charted projected changes along Yonge Street. Later used as a reference tool by City officials, this study highlighted the role for independent initiatives within municipal planning frameworks.
Kristyn Wong-Tam
Kristyn was elected to Toronto City Council in 2010 and has an extensive career investing in the city through both the public and private sectors. She is Vice-chair of the Toronto Board of Health and Chair of the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee, which provides advice to City Council on the identification, prevention, and elimination of barriers faced by people with disabilities with the goal of achieving social, cultural, and economic well-being.

Alex Speigel’s presentation on “The Changing Retail Landscape†offered a developer’s perspective on current conditions and approaches to addressing the current situation. Speigel used The Plant – one of Windmill Development Group’s current projects – as a case study. Located on Sudbury between King and Queen Streets, the project adapts a previously industrial site for new commercial and residential use. The Plant is designed to support multiple uses while also encourage sustainable main street activity. Whereas typical condominium developments often treat the design and leasing of retail spaces as afterthoughts, at The Plant retail space is a priority. The architects designed deep commercial floor plates to ensure that storefronts would be narrow and sidewalks wide. Above the street-level retail, Plant’s second floor is devoted to office space so that the building will be occupied by different people at different times of the day. In seeking tenants, the developers aim to create a unified “experience†of the space by clustering related goods and services.
Alex Speigel
Alex is a partner with the Windmill Development Group and a senior consultant with Urban Equation. An architect with 40 years of experience in design and development, Alex is strongly committed to a high standard of design and sustainability. Throughout his career, he has directed several innovative residential and mixed-use projects that involved the adaptive reuse.

Recognizing that notions of architectural value have shifted through time, the City's current methodology consists of identifying landmark buildings, examining avenues and character areas through field observations, and utilizing the Official Plan's “tools to identify heritage.†Anson-Cartwright offered brief summaries of recent main street studies, including those for Eglington Avenue, Danforth Avenue, Bloor Street West, West Queen West, Cabbagetown, Riverdale, and College Street. Also discussed was a proposal to modernize the City's Heritage Register, the implementation of pilot projects, and changes to tax-rebate incentive programs for heritage building owners

In her presentation 'Taxed Out: Illustrating the Impact of Tax Policy on our Main Streets,' Claire Nelischer of the Ryerson City Building Institute spoke to the tensions between development and conservation by addressing the indirect impacts of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation's 'highest and best use' process to determine a property's value. She noted that the emergence of high-value towers on Toronto's main streets, influences the taxes of neighbouring small businesses – which are reassessed based on their potential to be similarly developed, rather than on their current use. Nelischer's study quantified the impact of intensification. For owners of small buildings and businesses, these conditions yield unsustainable financial burdens, often leaving little choice but to sell their properties to developers. Nelischer suggested that the qualities of main streets must be identified and supported through a tax system sympathetic to small businesses.

Claire is a Project Manager with the Ryerson City Building Institute, where her work focuses on planning and policy to support a vibrant public realm. She has authored reports on a range of topics including street design, parks policy, and planning for civic assets, and frequently presents and writes on urban issues.

The Toronto Book of the Dead).

Event Description
Death is one of the few certainties in life. Everyone who has lived, is living, or will live will eventually die. Despite its universality, talking about death is still a taboo. In cities, death is a ubiquitous, hidden presence that has shaped them for millennia. Our urban landscapes are dotted with the presence of death – from final resting places for the deceased to memorials and monuments reminding us of those who have moved on, not to mention buildings such as hospitals meant to prevent it.
Death in the city is inescapable.
Examining our cities through the lens of death opens up some rarely asked questions. How has death shaped our urban fabric and how has the death of past Torontonians informed the city we see today? As our cities become denser and space more valuable, can the living and the dead coexist? How can we deal with the spatial and cultural requirements for death in the future?

ACO Toronto Branch Symposium, April 2018 examined the reasons our school buildings are suffering from demolition by neglect, with presentations on policy and budget as well as political considerations. In the afternoon the focus was on the number of significant buildings in the over 500 schools administered by the Toronto District School Board.
DESCRIPTION
A full quarter of Toronto's schools are in critical condition and require extensive renovations or replacement of core systems. Leaking roofs, broken boilers, and other symptoms of general neglect such as mold, rust, and asbestos are commonplace. While the city's school buildings crumble, chronic underfunding and poor policy have caused a repair backlog of $3.7 billion, quickly increasing to a staggering $6 billion by 2020.
The gradual deterioration of Toronto's schools threatens a significant portion of our city's built heritage. The imminent demolition of Davisville Junior Public School signals a worrying trend in the city: school buildings are being allowed to deteriorate to the point of no return.
Presented by ACO Toronto Branch, Toronto School Buildings AT RISK: A Symposium in Three Parts will address widespread concern over the declining state of Toronto's school buildings. Panelists and speakers will explore
Causes of deterioration and the growing repair backlog, funding challenges, and policies on maintenance
1. The TDSB's unique architectural stock
2. The City of Toronto's process of managing culturally significant school buildings when they no longer fit community needs
3. Alternatives to demolition for school buildings deemed "irredeemable," including adaptive reuse, restoration, and renovation

Remarks by architect Robert Allsopp during one in ACO Toronto's 2016 lecture series on what he terms "urban taxidermy." Taking Yonge Street as his example, his five pages of notes describe the economic, social, and cultural values lost as the street is stripped of life, hollowed out, and presented as a decorative element of new construction.
"If we want to keep and recycle Yonge Street, as part of 'the city we want' (as I think we should), we need to consider the whole thing as a dynamic, evolving cultural landscape. And we cannot separate the building carcasses from their intrinsic social, economic and cultural values."

A two-page summary of remarks made at one in ACO Toronto's 2016 lecture series. Among the lessons Bradburn draws is that we should revisit our appreciation of architectural styles that fall out of public favour. This loss of popularity aggravates the spectre of doom looming over modernist buildings discussed in this series. Bradburn calls for mobilizing greater public support for threatened sites.

Delivered as one in ACO Toronto's 2016 lecture series, Sewell's 18-page paper examines the project's influence on Toronto planning through the 1970s and beyond.

As part of ACO Toronto's 2016 lecture series, architect Annabel Vaughan gave a highly personal talk describing the influence of Peter Dickinson on her father, architect Colin Vaughan, as seen by her both as a young girl traveling with the family to visit new buildings, and as an adult architect. She discussed Dickinson's impact, and the wildly experimental nature of practice by a new generation of post-war architects who were tackling major projects at a very young age.
A public lecture is a rare opportunity, a public performance, illusive, ephemeral, and best experienced first hand. However, the PowerPoint slides used in the lecture, available here in PDF format, provide a sense of why the audience had a wonderful time listening and talking together.
