10 Key Strategies for Planning and Designing more Resilient Cities

Register On-line

Eighty percent of Canadians now live and work in cities - and that number is steadily increasing. Despite the economic recession, Canadians remain very concerned about climate change and environmental sustainability. Peak oil is also now making the news, reflecting a growing recognition that the increasing and voracious global demand for oil will soon exceed our ability to supply it affordably. Meanwhile, we are witnessing the aging of our population, and realizing that all levels of government are deeply in debt, with very little additional capacity to fund much needed replacement of our cities’ now aging urban infrastructures. This presentation will explore this complex set of problems and outline ten potential strategies for planning and designing cities that will be more resilient to the future shocks and stresses associated with global warming, peak oil and population change.
