Decisions made today, in the fog of uncertainty caused by the pandemic, will shape the direction of Canadian cities for generations to come. Investing in sustainable transportation and connected transit-oriented communities, not highway expansion and sprawling subdivisions, is the better path forward.

But this future is far from assured, writes Matti Siemiatycki. Photograph courtesy Andre Furtado/Pexels
