Submit your ideas on how to make new communities climate-friendly and livable

Imagine yourself moving to or starting a business in a brand new community. Consider what would be most important to you...

1. In your new home or business? (E.g. energy efficiency, low carbon and renewable energy sources, electric vehicle charging capability, resiliency to climate impacts like wind and flooding).

2. In your new neighbourhood? (E.g. shade from plentiful tree canopy, easy access to parks and green space, variety of housing types, sizes and costs, active transportation infrastructure, off-road bicycle and multi-use trails, enhanced stormwater capacity and green infrastructre to help reduce flood risk).

3. In the surrounding community? (E.g. close to transit and carpool/carshare lots, extensive bike lane network for commuting and recreation, access to a range of amenities like stores, schools, services and employment within walking/cycling distance, preservation of agriculture lands and natural heritage, urban agriculture opportunities)
