Projects
The initiative aims to engage community members, government representatives and academic members across the country in collaborative efforts to reimagine how Canadians consider, create and inhabit urban spaces, buildings and landscapes. Through this five-year project, partners from across communities, sectors and disciplines: (1) analyze the current limitations of environmental norms and sustainability models to bring us closer to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; (2) co-design new paths to equity, diversity and inclusion in the built environment; and (3) define new frameworks for conceptualizing quality that emphasize the social value of the built environment and offer roadmaps to reimagined quality.
