Planning for Sustainable Communities
In fall 2015, undergraduate students participated in a studio class that was designed to provide an advanced understanding of the theory and practice of planning for sustainable communities.
The class was created by Ken Greenberg, a visiting professor at the university's City Building Institute (CBI), and School of Urban and Regional Planning director Christopher De Sousa, who also supervised the class.
Students worked with a CBI expert to conduct an assessment and develop a plan for 20 local neighbourhoods in which SmartTrack stations are proposed.
A regional express rail surface line, SmartTrack was proposed by Toronto Mayor John Tory, and TMU students presented their plans for five stations to him last winter.
