Host Matt Galloway delves into civic infrastructure and the grand project of reimagining Union Station. It's the busiest building in Canada, with 250,000 people pouring through its doors every day. A team of architects and designers are trying to transform the thoroughfare into a destination by adding eateries, retail, the capacity for pop-up cultural events and artistic programming - all while preserving the Beaux-Arts heritage of the original building. Also explored is the use of graphic design in the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre and an affordable housing project in Ottawa designed to the passive house standard for energy efficiency.
