Evan

Student, Ryerson University

Holding an undergraduate degree in political science from York University, Evan brings an appreciation for the social dimension of planning and the need for an equitable vision of urbanism. With an interest in urban history, architecture and urban design, he brought an interdisciplinary approach to his work in the graduate program at Ryerson’s School of Urban and Regional Planning. His work with the preservation organization Dominion Modern imparted a respect for our modern built heritage that guided the direction of his studies, with particular focus on Toronto’s post-industrial landscapes and post-war suburbs. This interest in modernism led him to examine the use of cultural landscape stewardship as an alternative to heritage conservation districts in the protection of mid-century communities. Through this work, he hopes to contribute to the discussion about holistic approaches to conservation for both our natural and built systems.
