Réseau Quartiers verts/Active Neighborhoods Canada/

Summary

A network of communities using participatory urban planning - that is to say planning the city with and for its citizens - to build green, active and healthy neighborhoods.

Actions and Implementation

This network works together to multiply communities more adapted to pedestrian and cycling. The long-term goal of the initiative is to rethink urban planning in order to make it favorable to active transportation, with particular attention to youth movements. The project partners are working with 12 communities (citizens, organizations and other groups) that were selected according to certain criteria. These communities, located in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta, will act as levers to ensure that examples of participatory planning best practices and pedestrian and cyclist-friendly developments continue to increase across Canada.
