Progressive Urbanists, c.1995-2018: Portage Place is a textbook example of the dangers of developer-driven downtown planning and megaproject worship; it's an insular building that destroyed what diversity and commercial health was left on Portage Avenue and closed off the Central Park neighbourhood from the rest of downtown.

Progressive Urbanists, 2019: Portage Place is the greatest public space in the city and should be preserved just the way it is.
