Full Title:
Made-in-Alberta – “Smart Growth Part Four”
Description:
MIA (Ch.15)
New Urbanism (Ep.2) Smart Growth Part Four (4 min)
The fourth problem with
suburban sprawl – it’s expensive. On the other hand, Edmonton has a
long-term vision for efficient and smart growth. We wrap up our
mini-series with an overview of what that may look like.
About Chapter 15: “New
Urbanism”
Alberta’s cities are
booming, thanks to our strong economy, but wasteful, sprawling growth is
not good human habitat. Some Albertans are planning or redesigning
sustainable communities. How are they doing this, and what are the
results so far?
About Made-in-Alberta
(MIA) Series
Energy, water and climate,
these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel
reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures
running high, 96 percent of Albertans now want new energy solutions.
Since 2004, Barb Allard and her Made-in-Alberta team have been finding
these solutions and bringing them to community television and the
world-wide-web.
