Bridging My Urban Planning Experience from Vancouver to Toronto

This post reflects on my journey transitioning from urban planning in Vancouver to understanding Ontario’s planning policies. I explore how my experience with land use reports, community engagement, and sustainability projects in BC connects to key GTA policies like the Provincial Planning Statement (PPS) and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. My cross-regional knowledge equips me to contribute to sustainable, community-driven development in the Toronto area.
