Vancouver, BC, Canada – CityStudio Global announced the newest member of the growing CityStudio Network today, bringing civic innovation and city-campus collaboration to Ottawa, Ontario.

CityStudio Ottawa is part of a growing movement of cities worldwide engaging the unique CityStudio framework of city-campus collaboration to innovate and experiment with the way their city is built working with post-secondary students.
“It is a tremendous honour and pleasure to welcome CityStudio Ottawa to our Canadian network. Their work on community well-being is at the core of sustainable, livable and inclusive cities. Congratulations and thank you to the Ottawa team for their strong leadership and we look forward to many years of learning and growing together”, remarked Duane Elverum, Executive Director and Co-Founder of CityStudio.
CityStudio Ottawa will help increase the problem solving capacity of city staff by leveraging the skills, knowledge and creativity of post-secondary students and faculty in the city. The objectives of CityStudio are well aligned with those of the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan. The goal of the plan is to work alongside the community to shape a sustainable city where everyone is safe, has a sense of belonging, has access to services and can meet their needs for education, health care, food, housing, income, and social and cultural expression. Together, students and staff will co-design experimental projects that will contribute to key strategic goals and priorities in the city in an effort to advance sustainability, increase engagement and make the city more liveable.
For students, this is a unique experiential-learning opportunity to work directly with city staff to solve urban challenges and gain valuable employment skills.
“We are excited to partner with the University of Ottawa on this innovative framework. Meeting the CSWB Plan’s ambitious goals will require a collective effort and cross-sector collaborations such as CityStudio. Residents, students, and community organizations all play a key role in tackling social challenges and building their own city.” - Sarah Taylor, Director, Community Safety, Well-Being, Policy, and Analytics, City Of Ottawa.
“The CityStudio model depends on trust-based relationships and co-creation. As such, CityStudio Ottawa will be a transformative foundation for uniting the priorities of the community, the expertise of faculty, and the creativity of students. We are thrilled to be part of this global approach to building a more inclusive, sustainable, and healthier city for all.” - Dr. Claire Kendall, Associate Dean of Social Accountability, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa.
