Is diversity of housing of an asset to a desirable neighbourhood?

Time: Saturday May 4th, 10:00 – 11:20 am

Meeting Place: Victoria Park Pavilion

Walk Leader: Susan Lloyd Swail

During a 60 to 80 minute loop you are invited to join a retired land use planner to explore the relationship between diversity of housing, density, access to services and shops, connection to greenspace and health. We will walk along the Iron Horse Trail to Henry Strum Greenway along Highland to Heath Green and back to Victoria Park along Queens Blvd passing St. Mary’s hospital. Some subjects we will examine on our walking tour include some of Jane’s favourite topics- gentrification, retaining low cost housing in our cities and what makes a great city. We will be joined by a member of Green Waterloo Region to discuss how cities and residents can reduce ghg’s.
