Mark Kuznicki's Opening Comments

It appears to me, and most everyone I know, that we live in a world where everywhere we look we see increasingly complex problems in need of solutions. Everywhere we see obstacles and barriers, somebody saying "no, that's just not possible".

My strong belief is that so-called intractable or impossible problems are in fact merely failures of imagination.

I believe that creativity and culture can transform, overcome and change the game in order to solve those problems.

I believe that we are all creative beings, that creativity is deeply inherent in our human nature.

In this room we have artists, programmers, designers, engineers, city-builders, planners, musicians, entrepreneurs, writers and thinkers.

What does a software developer have in common with an artist? Today I hope we might discover the answer: that we are all creative; that we are all creators.

Human culture applied through our creative passion will solve the most difficult problems of our age. They are, in fact, the only things that ever have.

If the content of a city is its people and the transportation infrastructure is its circulatory system, then the people coming to the aid of the system is giving the body life.

Toronto Transit Camp is about bettering the Better Way.

Today I hope that we can all become co-creators of our shared city: from our collective dreamspace into the hard reality of steel, rubber and glass.
