What are
Canada's large cities doing to encourage low-carbon choices for personal
transportation? Canada's Coolest Cities sets out to
answer this question through case studies of Calgary, Edmonton,
Montreal,
Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver.
The study found that
Canada's six largest urban areas are
making efforts to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, but must do more to
promote
green urban design and
low-carbon transportation choices. While the cities have clear targets
for fighting climate change, the
majority of population growth is occurring in low-density suburbs, where
people
need to travel further and are less likely to walk, bike or take
transit.
