Thanks to @JLeiper for identifying some of the hard choices we need to make on #planning when it comes to #climateaction.
The #climate logic is clear: building compact, walkable 15-minute neighbourhoods (*not* more R1 zoning) is a #sprawl solution.
Let's get it done!

A better way is possible. Ottawa can continue to strengthen its urban forest management plan, while embedding ambitious forest canopy cover targets in the new Official Plan..... Buckles: The future of trees in Ottawa is bleak unless we act ottawacitizen.com/opinion/bu…
