Cities and Climate Change

ANALYSIS | Pandemic race for space prompts scientists to seek suburban climate solutions | CBC News"Densification," the idea that humans will increasingly live in bustling cities, was one of the great hopes for fighting climate change. But as Canadian cities continue to sprawl, scientists insist we must find ways to reduce the suburban climate impact.

ANALYSIS | Partly to avoid bankruptcy, places like Halifax and Waterloo are leading the way to climate-friendly cities | CBC NewsAs COP27 was coming to an end, the Ontario government was planning new highways and suburbs on its precious green belt. Critics call it a path to economic ruin. With immigration swelling the country's population, cities are now being nudged to follow Europe's lead, and some are listening, if just to keep from going broke.

GreenbeltThe National Capital Greenbelt is the most ecologically diverse area in Eastern Ontario.

Think the Greenbelt is protected? It isn't, and conservationists say it needs to be | CBC NewsOttawa's Greenbelt needs legal recognition and protection and a federal push to create a network of national urban parks across the country could be the solution, conservationists say.

Ottawa’s Greenbelt is federally owned but not federally protected | The NarwhalThe horseshoe of wetlands, forests and farms dividing Ottawa’s downtown from its suburbs is managed by the federal government, so it should be safe from Ontario’s new development policies. But it’s still threatened by roads and transit corridors
