Urban Planning


  • Specific precedent and legal barriers in the transfer of properties to Indigenous ownership.
  • What specific proportions of household income levels produce the alleged benefits of mixed-income neighbourhoods?
  • An urbanist’s commentary of the musicals ‘Rent’, ‘West Side Story’, ‘In The Heights’ depiction of gentrification and New York and its relevance to the current state of real estate speculation.
  • What is the importance, if any, of the 《清明上河图》 on modern urbanism?

Coops


  • What evidence do we have of individual or household income/wealth impacts due to participation in a cooperative and specifically in a worker cooperative? (Currently not enough data?)
  • Mapping DAOs to Worker Coopeeratives, a simplified comparasion.

Toronto’s Chinatown


  • That time that the East Spadina Steering Committee election was determined by overt mob tactics and threats?
  • How did neighbourhood mortgages work exactly in Toronto’s Chinatown associations pre and post Chinese Exclusion Act?
  • A history of the resistence to Dragon City Mall’s construction.
  • Archival images of the Chinatown gardens before its redevelopment into Chinatown Centre.

Or if commentary / studies already exist in relation to these questions, I would so appreciate it if you could share your sources with me so that we can nerd together.
