Issued For Construction AD: Alex Bozikovic - The Globe and Mail

Alex Bozikovic is the architecture critic for The Globe and Mail and a leading voice on urban design, city planning, and housing politics in Canada. Born and raised in the North York region of Toronto, he grew up exploring the varied built environments of the city. His early experiences visiting his immigrant grandparents in slab apartment towers across Toronto shaped his deep appreciation for urban life and density. A lifelong reader with a passion for storytelling, Alex initially studied English at the University of Toronto and pursued graduate studies at the City University of New York. Realizing he did not want to become an English professor, he pivoted to journalism. He began his career cold calling publications and writing book reviews as a freelance writer. His dedication eventually led to a position at the alternative publication eye weekly, followed by a brief stint at the Toronto Star, and finally a permanent role at The Globe and Mail. At The Globe and Mail, Alex spent nearly a decade refining his craft as a copy editor and assigning editor under the guidance of mentors like Carol Toller. Writing off the side of his desk, he eventually pitched himself to fill the architecture critic role previously held by Lisa Rochon. Today, he combines his literary background with an incisive understanding of civic infrastructure. He advocates for accessible public spaces, zoning reform, and vibrant urban ecosystems. In addition to his journalism, Alex also teaches urban design. ⁠⁠Alex Bozikovic⁠⁠ (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/autho...)
