Urban Land Use The Future of Cities

The Future Of Cities Today’s suburbs are looking much different than old suburbs in Canada They appear like small towns within cities with its own recreation facilities, shopping facilities, walking trails, bike trails, bus lanes, etc. Narrow row housing is being constructed with small front lawns and back alleys for car access

Smart Growth Cities Services will be easily accessible by all community members Employment, shops, schools, and entertainment are all located within neighborhoods Garages are now sometimes detached and placed in the back of the home. Houses in suburbs now have apartments added for family or rental tenants.

Green Technologies Green Technologies: Environmentally conscious ways of constructing buildings and devices (solar energy, wind turbines, energy efficient windows, more energy efficient insulations) Old tires being used to create rubber roofing tiles and driveways, green roofs (garden roof tops)

Green Technologies

Telecommuting Commuting electronically to work Over 1 million Canadians now work from home (or anywhere) by using technology to connect to the workplace 1 million Canadians working from home saves 250 million kilograms of Carbon Dioxide going into the atmosphere, $40 million in fuel, 800 fewer kilometers of mileage on streets and highways

Telecommuting Benefits: Congestion and pollution levels reduced Stay in touch with clients anywhere in the world (smart phones, iPads, etc) On-line conferencing connect people around the world It is changing the meaning of going to work and making options available to Canadian workers

The Ecological Footprint The amount of the earth’s resources it takes to support your lifestyle, measured in hectares All Canadian cities are above the 1.9 hectares that is available for our 7 Billion world population It educates us on our current lifestyle behaviors Developed in the 1990’s by Dr. William Rees

The Ecological Footprint Made up of: Transportation use Water use Space for work and play How much money you spend How far the food you eat has been shipped How much living space you have How much garbage you create
