The Suburbs Project

Theory and Practice in Planning Canadian Suburbs

About half of all Canadians live in the suburbs, the bane of urbanists and a concern for urban planners.

Our research asks how we can reconcile the gap between the kinds of livable and sustainable places planners hope to provide and the issues that we see in the suburbs we build today.

Findings from the suburbs project are available at: http://suburbs.planning.dal.ca/
