Overview
What you will study
Cities are the solution to our global problems, because they create a platform for people to come together and innovate solutions. At the School of Cities, we teach you how to build soft power — the art of convening people and surfacing new ideas that draw others to the table.
This Leading Urban Change course offered by University of Toronto helps you shift from a scarcity mindset focused on our deficits, to an abundance mindset based on leveraging our assets. Urban development does not need to be a zero sum game.
