Placemakers: Great by Design

What makes a city great? Join Calgary Municipal Land Corporation for the eighteenth installment of the Placemakers speaker series. This panel explores how thoughtful design and activation strategies create vibrant, connected urban environments, moving beyond major catalyst projects to examine the everyday details that shape our experience of public spaces. The program features short presentations from Kate Thompson, President & CEO of CMLC, Jérôme Glad, Partner at Belleville Placemaking, and Geoff Dyer, Urban Design Lead at B& A | CIMA+. Together, they will discuss how intentional design and strategic connections support larger city-building initiatives. 📍 Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre
