But the ravines&nbsp;are under threat as climate change, rapid growth and even invasive species threaten their future.</p> <p>91łÔąĎ landscape architecture master’s students at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design are hoping to inspire City of Toronto planners with innovative design solutions to the biggest issues facing the ravines.</p> <p>They’ve spent the past semester drafting and perfecting their ideas, biking along the Don and Humber rivers and touring Boston's Emerald Necklace, the city's 1,100 acre&nbsp;chain of parks,&nbsp;to get a first-hand look at how other cities interact with their&nbsp;ravines.

It puts a lot of pressure on the ravines, and so we're seeing a lot of the issues like flooding and ecological deterioration of the ravines,” says<strong> Alissa North</strong>, an associate professor at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture and director of the master of landscape architecture program.</p> <p>North grew up right next to the Humber River so she is keenly aware of the importance of preserving the ravines.&nbsp;</p> <p>“It's a big issue and a big opportunity to see how we can find more productive relationships between the city and the ravines,” she said.</p> <p>Students picked a particular issue to focus on – like promoting cultural heritage or preserving ecological features – mapping out a big-picture strategy while also focusing on site-specific solutions.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Andrew Hooke</strong> looked at how to save at-risk plant species while mitigating invasive plants and flooding.&nbsp;</p> <p>“I learned a ton about different plant species, and how they're able to spread throughout the ravines,” he says.</p> <p><strong>Stephen Brophy</strong> chose to re-imagine Black Creek, a watershed that connects with the Humber River, to incorporate cultural programming while also preventing flooding. He says Toronto’s ravines should play a more important role in the city’s identity.&nbsp;</p> <p>“Central Park in Manhattan is its main defining feature. Toronto has a Central Park. It's in the ravines, and it's way bigger&nbsp;but completely overlooked,” he says.</p> <p><img alt class="media-image attr__typeof__foaf:Image img__fid__2910 img__view_mode__media_original attr__format__media_original" src="/sites/default/files/Stephen.jpg" style="width: 750px; height: 500px;" typeof="foaf:Image"><br> <em>Stephen Brophy wants to include public art in his re-imagining of Black Creek&nbsp;(photo by Romi Levine)</em></p> <p>North says students’ involvement in the Ravine Strategy is a great way to provide them with real-world opportunity. In turn, city workers can find inspiration from the students.</p> <p>“Their creativity and unbounded enthusiasm can have a lot of impact on the people who are in the roles that are shaping our city right now,” she says.&nbsp;</p> <p>The City of Toronto provided students with base map material and city representatives have been present at many of the students’ presentations, including their final exhibition.&nbsp;</p> <p>“It’s quite lovely to see little gems of ideas that could be very useful,” says Jane Welsh, a project manager for Toronto’s city planning department as she admired&nbsp;some of the final projects.</p> <p>Maintaining waterways is crucial to creating sustainable cities, says Carolyn Woodland, a senior director at Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.&nbsp;</p> <p>“It's great students are thinking long-term because they'll be the professionals of the future,” she says.</p> <p><img alt class="media-image attr__typeof__foaf:Image img__fid__2911 img__view_mode__media_original attr__format__media_original" src="/sites/default/files/Exhibition%20embed.jpg" style="width: 750px; height: 500px;" typeof="foaf:Image"><br> <em>Students presented their final projects during a public exhibition at Daniels (photo by Romi Levine)</em></p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-home-page-banner field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News home page banner</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Thu, 15 Dec 2016 19:39:03 +0000 Romi Levine 102804 at Future city builders: Shelley Long /news/future-city-builders-shelley-long <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Future city builders: Shelley Long</span> <div class="field field--name-field-featured-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="eager" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_370/public/Shelley%20Main.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=m9Jbng7n 370w, /sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_740/public/Shelley%20Main.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=yEOVgWL3 740w, /sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_1110/public/Shelley%20Main.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=J724pCjL 1110w" sizes="(min-width:1200px) 1110px, (max-width: 1199px) 80vw, (max-width: 767px) 90vw, (max-width: 575px) 95vw" width="740" height="494" src="/sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_370/public/Shelley%20Main.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=m9Jbng7n" alt="photo of Shelley Long "> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>Romi Levine</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2016-11-24T16:13:28-05:00" title="Thursday, November 24, 2016 - 16:13" class="datetime">Thu, 11/24/2016 - 16:13</time> </span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Cutline</div> <div class="field__item">91łÔąĎ alumna Shelley Long is a landscape designer at Hapa Collaborative in Vancouver (photos courtesy of Shelley Long)</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-reporters field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/authors-reporters/romi-levine" hreflang="en">Romi Levine</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-legacy field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Author legacy</div> <div class="field__item">Romi Levine</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-topic field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Topic</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/topics/city-culture" hreflang="en">City &amp; Culture</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-story-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/future-city-builders" hreflang="en">future city builders</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/john-h-daniels-faculty-architecture" hreflang="en">John H.

Whereas, with buildings, the day you finish your project, they start to deteriorate in a sense,” says Long, who received her master's in landscape architecture from the&nbsp;91łÔąĎ’s <a href="https://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/">John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>For her <a href="https://shelleylong.me/portfolio/wilderness-exodus-the-production-of-a-national-landscape/">thesis</a>, Long explored these notions of native versus invasive landscapes by re-imagining the Trans-Canada Highway between Calgary and Banff as Canada’s next national park.&nbsp;</p> <p>“Along the way you experience a spectrum of different human ecologies from the city to an industrial cement mine to agricultural fields to First Nations reserves, which are very Canadian landscapes – and finally, the national park itself,” she says.&nbsp;</p> <p>Long currently works for Hapa Collaborative, a landscape architecture and design firm in Vancouver.&nbsp;</p> <p>At Hapa, she’s been able to work on a range of different projects – from residential developments to revitalizing areas of the Simon Fraser University campus.&nbsp;</p> <p>But it’s the art installation projects that she talks about most enthusiastically.</p> <p>This year, she was part of a team who designed and created a giant megaphone in a west-end Vancouver plaza. The sculpture, called “<a href="http://hapacobo.com/project/the-megaphone-at-jim-deva-plaza-speakers-corner/">Speaker’s Corner</a>,” (pictured below) pays tribute to Jim Deva, an active community member and LGBTQ advocate.&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="Megaphone in Jim Deva plaza" class="media-image attr__typeof__foaf:Image img__fid__2625 img__view_mode__media_original attr__format__media_original" src="/sites/default/files/megaphone.jpg" style="width: 750px; height: 500px; margin: 10px;" typeof="foaf:Image"></p> <p>“That was a whirlwind process, but it was really exciting to start a project and see it built in a span of 2 1/2 months,” says Long.&nbsp;</p> <p>“People put boom boxes behind it. Musicians perform inside it,” she says. “It’s been a really successful centrepiece of that part of the west-end.”</p> <p>Having lived both in Toronto and Vancouver, Long has observed the cities’ different approaches to city building.</p> <p>“Vancouver is very outward-focused city in that we are blessed with this abundance of scenery and natural life,” she says. “Our architecture and our built environment definitely reflect that. Our sea wall is the most important public space in the city.”</p> <p>“Toronto is a much more inward-focused city in that it really loves itself,” says Long. “I don’t say that in a bad way.&nbsp;I say that in a way that it really celebrates its identity. It’s much more culturally focused. It’s much more multicultural. That really comes across in the built landscape.”</p> <p>Long says Vancouver can learn from Toronto’s rethinking of the waterfront and ravines&nbsp;with an emphasis on landscape architecture.&nbsp;</p> <p>“We’re saying how can we reintegrate these waterfront spaces and give them back to the public in really interesting ways and develop them into new communities.
