Toronto’s Future: Who’s Paying? The 7th Annual IMFG Toronto City Manager’s Address

Chris Murray, Toronto’s City Manager, is a former planner who thinks of the future in terms of decades, not years. In this video of his address, Toronto’s Future: Who’s Paying?, he discusses the “elephant in the room” when it comes to municipal government: what kind of city are we leaving behind for future generations? He considers how intergenerational equity should shape our future, makes the point that complex problems cannot be solved by single institutions, and explores why coordinated action is required to move forward.
