Spacing magazine invites people — 35 years old or younger — with creative ideas on how to improve Toronto’s public space to take part in thinkToronto, an urban design ideas competition that will help celebrate the magazine’s 5th anniversary in December 2008. Architects, urban planners, landscape architects, designers, artists of all disciplines, students, and the urban curious are all encouraged to submit their plans to tweak, improve, or redesign streetscape elements and specific areas of Toronto.

thinkToronto seeks ideas from the next generation of city builders who want to challenge how we view Toronto’s public realm. The competition gives participants a platform to explore and experiment with Toronto’s urban landscape and generate a dialogue among Torontonians about creative and sustainable solutions in our shared common spaces.

Since our fifth anniversary issue is a “looking forward” theme, we chose the age limit in order to highlight the up-and-coming talent our city and country possesses. Fear not, those older than 35, as we have plans to include your important ideas in the magazine in the near future.
