Description
The City has implemented several growth management plans that guide and regulate land use and development within specific areas, promoting orderly, sustainable, and strategically planned expansion consistent with the community’s long-term objectives. These plans present an excellent opportunity to integrate climate and health considerations into the broader framework of growth management.
Staff from the Climate Action & Environmental Stewardship Department have been supporting the Long-Range Planning team to include various aspects of climate/environment in the Thriving Urban Centres project, which will guide decisions, policy changes, and recommended actions in a more informed, resource-efficient way compared to traditional urban centres plans.
