Pug Talk panel, part of 7th annual architecture awards, discusses planning as a challenge

There are more exciting aspects to city building than planning, but few more pervasively important.

Last week, Steve Diamond moderated a discussion among former chief of planning Paul Bedford, municipal lawyer David Bronskill, architect and former chief planner Howard Cohen and city councilor and chair of planning and growth management Peter Milczyn on the question of whether current planning in the city is producing the best buildings.

"Any time you have a conversation and you have a lot of smart people in one place it should ignite something," says Pug co-founder Gary Berman. "Really what we're trying to do is facilitate a conversation among the stakeholders in the planning process; we think that something positive will come out of that."
