Leading with Landscape: Toronto’s Waterfront Transformation

Posted August 24, 2026

This fall, Leading with Landscape will bring together local and international designers, scholars, policymakers, Indigenous leaders, and the public at the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design for a public conference and exhibition on Toronto’s ambitious waterfront transformation.

The event positions Toronto’s waterfront as a globally recognized model of landscape-led urbanism where landscape architecture is critical ecological and cultural infrastructure, capable of shaping the 21^st century city.

JRS founding partner Janet Rosenberg will be joining a panel discussion on landscapes as cultural generators. We’re looking forward to the conversations ahead!
