Naama Blonder is the mastermind behind Smart Density, an architecture practice in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. After moving to Toronto from Israel, she acquired the necessary certifications to start her practice, aiming to bring density to the city. Naama not only holds her architecture degree, but also is a certified urban planner.

Combining both professions, she has become a largely vocal and to some, controversial advocate for density along transit lines, creating more opportunity for city growth than a single family home can provide to the community.

Her eagerness and disposition lend themselves to a highly engaging discussion throughout our time together.

Worth noting is that the audio on my side was not great, but the conversation was so meaningful and Naama's audio was so clear, it was totally worth sharing.
