You are invited to a reading-discussion of The Walkable City: From Haussmann’s Boulevards to Jane Jacobs’ Streets and Beyond by Mary Soderstrom, who knows Mile End and Outremont well because she has lived, worked and shopped there for decades. Recently published by Véhicule Press, The Walkable City, a follow-up to Mary’s Green City: People, Nature and Urban Places (Véhicule Press, 2007), invites us to walk the neighbourhoods of Paris, New York, Toronto and Vancouver to learn about how cities can be organized.
Date and time: Saturday 6 December 2008, 3:00 p.m.
Place: Mile End Library, 5434 Park Avenue, south of Saint-Viateur (bus 80)
Cost: Free
Languages: The reading will be in English but the discussion will be in French and English.
