Thanks to everyone that participated in the survey for choosing the next book. Based on the survey results our next read will be Soft City: Building Density for Everyday Life by David Sim.
A "soft city" is a human-centered city — one that adapts to the needs of its residents and visitors to accommodate the pleasures of everyday life. "Soft City is an engaging and visually interesting book for those interested in creating a more human urban landscape. Sim provides a passionate and updated appeal for a messier, more complex, and more human urban experience."
This book is available in physical copy or e-reader formats. We will start this next book in the final week of April 2021. We hope that you will read along with us on our week-by-week schedule. If you’ve already read this book, please feel free to join in the weekly discussions with us.
Based on the results from the last survey, this edition of the book club will be available on OPPI’s PlannersConnect platform as well as on our previous home at Linked In. Join us in discussion on the platform of your choosing.
We also hope to run a wrap-up Zoom discussion at the end of the read.
We look forward to the coming read and some great discussions.

The Panel discussion will explore the topics of engagement and equity with a focus on highlighting opportunities to improve the way we engage with those that we typically do not hear from. It will look to challenge our traditional consultation requirements by exploring the engagement experiences and practices from representatives of OPPI’s Indigenous Perspectives Advisory Committee and the Anti-Black Racism Taskforce (ABRP TF). It will aim to inspire our engagement practices by learning from those who are trained and professionally practicing as engagement specialists with an equity focus and lens applied. Our intent is to provide planners with a “call to action” to think about and apply best practices with the intent of creating space for inclusive engagement practices within the planning profession.
