Matti Siemiatycki is on a mission to improve our cities. As Director of the Infrastructure Institute and a Professor at the University of Toronto, he’s a leading expert on how to build and pay for the large-scale projects that shape our urban lives. From subways to bridges, Matti’s work focuses on making sure these massive investments are smart, effective, and truly benefit the communities they’re meant to serve. He’s a go-to voice in the media on all things infrastructure and city planning, and he’s ready to share his insights on how we can tackle Toronto’s traffic woes.
Beyond the technical aspects of project delivery, Matti’s work delves into the evidence base for infrastructure investment decisions, aiming to ensure that public funds are allocated strategically for maximum benefit. He also examines how infrastructure can be effectively integrated into the existing fabric of cities, fostering sustainable growth and enhancing urban liveability. Matti is a respected voice in the media and the community, known for his ability to break down complex issues and offer clear, evidence-based solutions. He’ll be joining us to talk about one of the most pressing issues facing our city: what to do about Toronto’s ever-growing traffic congestion.
