Episode 19 - Alex Smiciklas
Sunday, 5 April, 2026
We sit down with planner and community engagement specialist Alex Smiciklas (MPl 2020) for a wide-ranging conversation on what it really means to engage people in shaping cities.From graduating into the uncertainty of the pandemic to working on the front lines of public consultation, Alex shares why meeting people where they are matters (and where planning gets it wrong). Along the way, we get into the great Toronto vs. Vancouver debate, the reality behind 15-minute cities, and why some of the best parts of urban life are the ones we barely talk about.
