Developed through engagement with the cities of Gatineau, Quebec City, Saskatoon and Vancouver, the mapping tool allows you to explore multiple benefits of natural infrastructure, and their collective impact on communities.
Natural infrastructures — such as urban forests, parks, wetlands and street trees — play an often overlooked role in enhancing urban resilience, improving air and water quality and fostering biodiversity. Starting at the neighbourhood level, the map can help you or your teams identify how to better manage natural infrastructure for adaptation in specific sites.
Join the webinar to:
- Learn about the benefits of natural infrastructures in cities and the risks that climate change poses
- Explore the features of the new interactive platform, including the visualization tools that show who most benefits from access to nature
- Hear from cities piloting the tool in urban planning and environmental departments
- Engage in a live Q&A session with our panellists
Your participation will help expand the conversation on sustainable urban infrastructure and inspire action throughout Canada.
