What People Get Wrong About Dense Urban Living

Discussions of urbanism often devolve into fights between "downtown living" and "suburban (or small town) living". This misses something big — most city-dwellers don't actually live "downtown". They live in dense residential neighbourhoods outside of downtown. We understand the aversion that many people have to "downtown living" because it can feel overwhelming, noisy, and crowded, but urban density does not have to be like that. It can actually be quite peaceful and calming. In this video, we cover our experiences based on living in older, denser parts of Toronto and Montreal.
