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!

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion on Black-Led Community Space
DESCRIPTION:In December 2022\, The Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation\, in partnership with the Infrastructure Institute at the University of Toronto\, released a report entitled\, Inhibited Growth: Examining Public Investment Gaps in Black Infrastructure Needs.
