Munk in the City is an educational initiative that brings students out of the classroom and into the community to see first-hand the challenges faced by residents across Toronto, and consider the urban policy solutions that can address these issues.
In the weeks leading up to the 2018 Toronto municipal election, 70 students from both the Munk School's Master of Public Policy and Master of Global Affairs programs ventured out to all corners of the city to explore and report on key issues and concerns in each of the 25 new municipal wards.
#MunkintheCity
Walking new streets and neighbourhoods, talking with local residents and businesses, immersing themselves in new places and experiences, students produced a series of creative dispatches — more than 200 blog posts, photo essays, and videos (samples below) — that speak to the lived reality of different Torontonians across the city, and the policy questions we should ask ourselves, and our elected leaders.
