On the 4th of August 2020, a massive explosion hit the heart of the city of Beirut. The Epicenter of this explosion was the main port surrounded by the historic center of the city. This scar left more than 300,000 people without a home, and destroyed hundreds of historical buildings.

TAXI Toronto and United Way, along with Norm Li Studio and KPMB Architects, are bringing attention to the shocking reality of the size and scale of poverty in the Toronto area.
