@WiltonConsult Thank you! I’ll definitely take a look at the report!

@emmacaryn Great Q! There would be diminishing returns on a wider transition zone, especially on the urban side. The main goal is to foster positive urban-rural 'neighbours'; this can be supported through policy. There's good info about edge planning in this report: peelregion.ca/planning/paawg…

Interesting take on the impact of municipal capacity on planning proactively for agriculture. Some really great examples of initiatives from across the GGH. Would love to see more of this across the province 🌾

“The most vibrant cities are ones that prioritize the one element that gives them character: their people. If more places reduce the space for cars and give it back to people, then any city can become a more social, healthy and happy place for everyone!” acitymadebypeople.com/articles/2021/…

Planners & architects often talk about "the missing middle" in terms of housing, but more impactful on urban character is what you might call "the disappearing small".
Standards of living & *expectations* of luxury have skyrocketed in Canada incl for the middle-class.
