Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 820 - Toronto Mayoral Candidate Gil Penalosa

Brian interviews Gil Penalosa. Gil is the founder and chair of 8 80 Cities, a Canadian nonprofit with a mission to improve sustainable mobility, parks, and public spaces to transform urban areas into cities that are great for both 8-year-olds and 80-year olds. Gil Penalosa ran for Mayor of Toronto a few months ago came second and received 100,000 votes. This interview was recorded last week before Mayor Tory’s resignation and shows Gil’s passion for the City and urban renewal. Given an upcoming by-election, it’s fascinating to hear what Gil has to say about tearing down the Gardiner, our housing crisis, the green belt and other city issues.
