TimelapseTO

This initiative was created by CUI and Maximum City to engage youth in discussions about the changes happening in their community. Five Timelapse workshops were held across the city in 2017. The workshops used large-scale maps and colourful, tactile materials to give youth the opportunity to imagine, design and discuss the future of their neighbourhood.
