Dense City

17: The Path of Least Resistance (a.k.a. suburban development)


Listen Later

We welcome Dr. Jill Grant, who is a professor emeritus at Dalhousie University’s School of Planning. She’s an urban planner whose research centers around improving the spaces that mean most to us. Her latest work studies development patterns in Canadian suburbs and the influence of the creative class in cities.

In this episode, we discuss her article "Path dependencies affecting suburban density, mix, and diversity in Halifax" published in The Canadian Geographer with co-authors Dr. Pierre Filion and Scott Low.
