La Cité Francophone Theatre

This evening public talk will motivate and challenge Edmontonians to merge transportation with creativity and reclaim their streets, both psychologically and physically. David champions low-cost, highly creative interventions by everyday citizens for changing the conversation and uses of city spaces.
