Pier Giorgio Di Cicco's tenure as poet laureate of the City of Toronto began with the championing of the arts and continues to support the proposition that until the citizen sees himself/herself as creative in all fields of endeavour we will not have livable and sustainable cities. His notion of "civic aesthetic" has found popularity in forums ranging from the Prime Minister's Advisory Committee on Cities and Communities to conferences on sustainability and urban planning. He was a team member and co-author of the Imagine Toronto report of the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario. He was official moderator for the 2005 International Metropolis Conference and the Toronto host for the World Association of Major Metropolises. His latest book is Municipal Mind: Manifestos for the Creative City.     Read more...
