Disruptors & Dilemmas presents: Building up: Infrastructure for good

As cities grow at an unprecedented pace, the need for smart, sustainable infrastructure has never been greater. But true sustainability isn’t just about better materials or more efficient design—it’s about people. Infrastructure has the power to enable choice, transform communities and shape lives.  

What if we stopped building for people and started building with them? Imagine infrastructure that doesn’t just connect places but empowers the people who use it. Roads and transit systems that drive economic opportunity. Accessible public spaces that foster connection. Neighborhoods designed to make sustainable choices the easiest and most efficient for everyone. 

Join us for a bold conversation with leahttps://alumni.engineering.utoronto.ca/event/dd-mar2025/ding experts that will challenge the way we think about infrastructure. We’ll explore how cities can move beyond traditional top-down planning and towards co-creating infrastructure with the communities it serves. We’ll dive into the intersection of sustainability, accessibility and economic empowerment—because the most transformative infrastructure isn’t just about what we build. It’s about who we build it for.
