Ethical Smart Cities (Soft Launch)

Founded in 2003, the Institute without Boundaries (IwB) is a Toronto-based studio and think tank education program that is part of the School of Design at George Brown College. The IwB works toward collaborative design practice with the objectives of social, ecological and economic innovation through design research and strategy. At the Institute, we see the designer as a problem solver with the ability to affect positive change for humanity.The IwB is a place where students, teachers, industry and community experts come together to solve complex global issues. Just as wicked problems span across social, political, economic and environmental boundaries, the new breed of designer must do the same —challenging 20th century paradigms.
