How To Stop Sprawl: A User-Friendly Toolkit – The David Suzuki Foundation has released a toolkit to help communities stop sprawl.

Driven to Action
Stopping Sprawl in Your Community

Sprawl consumes large quantities of land, segregates houses from shops and workplaces, depends on cars, contributes to climate change and has little regard for the natural environment.

Of course, most Canadians do not personally build the houses, streets, schools, parks or water lines that make cities possible. But we can set the rules for building sustainable cities and help make the plans that determine how we get to work, school and shopping.

Driven to Action encourages communities to reshape urban areas. We need more dense and compact cities, with better bike paths and pedestrian friendly walkways.
