Are you a member of @MunicipalWorld? If so, be sure to check out the November edition of the magazine to read @RBarberMPL, @mhartt and @HealthyCityProf's article comparing school closures in two Ontario shrinking cities: Elliot Lake and North Bay.

Plan Canada's Smart Growth special issue is packed with articles by SURPers: Natalie Pulcine MPL’17, Eric Aderneck MPL’02, Pamela Sweet, MPL’76, Rachel Barber MPL’23, @mhartt and @ProfDavidGordon

My latest article was published in the Fall 2023 issue of Plan Canada! @mhartt, @justinhollander and myself outlined the spatial distribution of Canadian shrinking cities and reflected on the use of smart decline policies. @CIP_ICU tinyurl.com/4jxazyd2

@madirob12 @s_biglieri Enjoy!

Looking forward to diving into this book #AgingPeople #AgingPlaces this week - which combines academic research, practitioner reflections, and personal narratives from older adults across Canada to explore aging in Canadian communities - @mhartt @s_biglieri

The article features the Older Persons Walking and Transit Audit (OPWATA), a novel tool created to assess the presence of age-friendly features during transit commutes, including at transit stops and on first and last mile walking routes. tinyurl.com/5ax8cmuu

New article in Applied Geography! "Aging in place, stranded in space: An analysis of health care access via public transportation in Elliot Lake" evaluates the age-friendliness of public transit when accessing health care facilities in Canada's most severely shrinking city.

@arielbphd @RBarberMPL @HealthyCityProf Thanks for the kind words Ariel. We were thrilled when we came across your brilliant paper. Really set the conceptual foundation for us to build upon.

Thrilled to share my latest publication in Canadian Geographies, and my first as first author! @mhartt, @HealthyCityProf and myself examined the relationship between Ontario school closures and the demographic and socio-economic contexts of municipalities. doi.org/10.1111/cag.12…

@rapaport1010 Happy to hear it!

@mhartt I am enjoying reading this!

My book "Quietly Shrinking Cities" is now available in paperback! Examining population shifts, migration, deaths, etc is feeling more relevant than ever. Can be purchased directly from @UBCPress or the usual other spots (Amazon, Indigo, Barnes, etc) ubcpress.ca/quietly-shrink…

How do social and built environments fail older adults and produce social isolation? In “Age-Unfriendly by Design” for #JAPAplanning, @mhartt @urban_animus @Drruthypotts explore aging in the context of Melbourne, Australia. @popplacelab bit.ly/3oKTuCA

Happy Pride month! Hankering to think more critically about queer joy and the abolitionist history of pride? My and @alphabetical’s article is hot off the press in this terrific special issue on Queering Municipal Governance ✨🎉
