Sidewalk Toronto and Digital Governance Innovation
<p>The project, a public-private partnership between Waterfront Toronto, a consortium of municipal, provincial, and federal governments and Sidewalk Labs, a sister company of Google, looks to further accelerate Toronto’s growth into a global innovation hub. Sidewalk Toronto will soon release its Master Innovation and Development Plan (MIDP), and a focus on governance innovation needs to accompany the project’s priority for urban innovation. The outsized role played by the city in global innovation means that the digital mechanism designs taken in this project will have effects far beyond the Quayside. It is a responsibility for policy makers to embrace forward thinking design principles to transform Toronto into a model for digital governance.</p>
