This poster investigates the confluence of queer theory, cultural landscape analysis, and urban policy in shaping Toronto’s unique queer urban ecologies. It examines how historically queer spaces—such as Hanlan’s Point—have evolved through the interplay of community activism, governmental intervention, and cultural preservation to become vital nodes of queer social infrastructure. By employing an interdisciplinary methodology that blends archival research, policy review, and media analysis, the study highlights the intersections between grassroots advocacy and formal urban planning. It contrasts Toronto’s proactive recognition and preservation of queer spaces with the more contested approaches in Ottawa, emphasizing how these converging forces foster resilient, inclusive urban environments. The findings offer policy recommendations that integrate queer social infrastructure into urban planning, reinforcing the transformative potential of these intersecting urban dynamics in creating a more equitable public realm.
