[greenon-l] Local Implementation of Smart Growth Policy -- seminar

[Conservation Council of Ontario]

FYI.

 

As chair of the Ontario Smart Growth Network, I will be co-chairing a
seminar next week looking at how we can best work with municipalities that
want to make smart growth a reality.  We truly face an immense challenge in
changing the future of urban growth to an "urban village" concept that will
be fully integrated, pedestrian friendly communities and that will
significantly reduce car travel, gridlock and greenhouse gases.

 

The Smart Growth Network will be setting up a municipal implementation group
coming out of this seminar.  We are looking for people from all sides who
share our vision!

 

With thanks,

Chris Winter
