I have a degree in immunology from Cambridge, a medical degree from Oxford, and a master's in public health from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine… but "John52659143" on here just told me I know nothing about all three, so there's that.

When cities adopt policies that build and preserve affordable housing, provide transportation equity, support living wages, enshrine tenant protections and prioritize sustainability, we can build just communities that are inclusive of everyone - the kind we all deserve.

Urban heat islands contribute to climate change. The opportunity to engage in direct climate action by removing concrete in the urban core and replacing it with bioswale filtration and/or trees is one example of how cities can be part of the solution.

If frequency is freedom, it’s easy to understand why many people liken Nederlandse Spoorwegen (“Dutch Railways”) to a national metro system.

New Westminster politicians and business owners say the city's downtown strip needs help. From the pandemic to vacant buildings, leaders fear the historic neighbourhood is falling apart. As @jonvhernandez reports, the city is figuring out how to revive it.

Around two-thirds of all Dutch children walk or cycle to school, preventing an estimated one million car journeys across the country each morning.

That’s much less strain on their streets, their wallets, and their lives; simply by enabling safe and active travel in their cities.

B.C. universities and businesses have discovered that investment in strategic energy management does more than just save millions of dollars. Read more about out how green branding pays off and how it works best when it pays for itself.

Too much parking induces too much car ownership and too much driving, which in turn makes people think we need more parking. It’s a self-fulfilling prophesy.
