The Great Lakes: America's Climate Refuge. "Legacy Cities" like Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo have existing infrastructure to absorb climate refugees, while offering freedom from egregious climate risks. #climatecrisis#greatlakes@FastCompany https://t.co/gnILHUIiXM
Data needed! The Calumet Stormwater Collaborative, with @metroplanning, is developing the Green Infrastructure Baseline Inventory, a dataset of green stormwater infrastructure installations to #EndCalumetFlooding. Visit https://t.co/HPkrvOrRIl for more information.
Pandemic is amplifying water issues for vulnerable Illinoisans. Low-income residents of color more vulnerable to water shut-offs, wealth-draining urban flooding, exposure to toxic lead in drinking water and spiking water rates https://t.co/vWD0hOod0E via @crainschicago @MPCJosh
Only 23% of #Canadian urban dwellers live in “amenity-rich neighborhoods”, defined as within 1km of a grocery store, pharmacy + public transit stop, 1.5km of childcare, primary school + library and 3km of a health care facility #walkability@globeandmail https://t.co/FNC46wjJTM

Kudos to @GovernorVA on leading the way to climate change policy in the south. #Virginia becomes first southern state to join the #RGGI, a multi-state cap-and-trade agreement designed to reduce pollution from fossil fuel power plants. https://t.co/GbEvBBAuJ9
#Edmonton gets it right in eliminating #parkingminimum requirement for all developments. The market, not the zoning code, should dictate the number of parking spaces occupying valuable city space.
