➌ MaxiMuM city <br />Maximum City is a pilot project at <br />University of Toronto Schools giv- <br />ing high school students hands-on <br />experience in urban planning, civic <br />engagement and “the inner-work- <br />ings of our municipal government.” <br />“While children and youth <br />account for one third of city <br />dwellers, scant formal edu- <br />cational opportunities exist <br />for them to learn about and <br />engage in how we plan, build <br />and live in cities. students <br />are ready to get involved in <br />community and city-building <br />projects and have fresh and <br />innovative ideas for improv- <br />ing our city—we just have to <br />invite them to the table and <br />start the conversation.” <br />Josh Fullan, <br />Director, MaxiMuM city <br />Fun FacT! <br />in 1978, gloria lindsay luby wrote <br />a paper for the toronto Bureau <br />of Municipal research called <br />“teaching local government: a <br />responsibility of the educational <br />system”. twenty-two years later, <br />she was elected to etobicoke city <br />council and is still a city councillor <br />today in toronto.
