In this talk, Mona El Khafif, visiting guest professor at the School of Cities, introduces a series of urban strategies aimed at transforming residual lands into hybrid community assets and innovative public spaces. Using a GIS-based mapping and analysis framework, her work identifies underutilized spaces that can be reimagined as public assets and social infrastructure in Toronto.
El Khafif showcases her past work, with a focus on city-owned parking lots, and provide an initial overview of her current research. This includes a detailed analysis of three precedent case studies in Toronto identified as cultural commons: The Bentway, which reimagines the land beneath the Gardiner Expressway as a dynamic public space; The Stacked Market, a transformed brownfield site featuring container markets and open plazas; and Plaza POPs, a non-profit initiative temporarily activating mall parking lots for community use.
