How much does it cost to wheel in Tyler Brûlé to lecture you on the deficiencies of a broken-down capital city like Ottawa? $50,000? Not quite: “The speaker fees and airfare for Mr. Brûlé do not add up to $50,000. That amount also encompasses the staging of the event. Mr. Brûlé will also donate part of his speaker fee back to the Award” in the planned city-redesign competition, Alain Miguelez tells me.
$50K for Brûlé
