SUMMARY:Webinaire: Prendre la mesure des iniquités territoriales pour repenser l’aménagement
DESCRIPTION:L’aménagement des milieux de vie a une influence majeure sur la santé\, la qualité de vie et les possibilités d’épanouissement des populations qui y résident. Ainsi\, les choix urbanistiques peuvent atténuer ou\, au contraire\, perpétuer\, voire aggraver les inégalités sociales. \nCe webinaire se veut une introduction à la vaste question du rôle potentiel de l’aménagement de nos milieux de vie en faveur de l’équité et l’inclusion. Les interventions de trois panélistes initieront l’auditoire à trois dimensions de cette problématique\, soit: \nLe rôle de la pénurie de logements dans la création des iniquités territoriales et les dynamiques qui créent cette pénurie; \nL’impact des transformations urbaines sur les inégalités sociales de santé; \nLe processus de participation citoyenne et le travail avec les populations en situation de vulnérabilité. \nUne période d’échange entre les panélistes et l’auditoire clôturera la séance. \nInformations complémentaires \n\n\nDate: 22 février 2023\, de 12h à 13h30 \n\n\nTarif: Gratuit \n\n\nMode: En ligne \n\n\nInscrivez-vous ici!

Our Hybrid setup will allow participants to experience the same sessions in parallel\, whether they attend in-person or virtually. \nThis event will take place the day prior to BC’s Local Government Leadership Association conference\, which is also at the Radisson Hotel in Richmond BC. We are pleased to announce that we will provide registrants to the Climate Caucus Summit with an access code for group rate tickets to FCM’s Sustainable Communities Conference happening later in the week\, from February 7th-10th\, 2023.
