Ask your students to watch the film and follow up by studying major urban centres such as Montreal or Vancouver and then compare their growth. How do our housing preferences influence the development of cities? Would we rather drive and live in a single family home? Does co-property ownership represent a greener choice? Europe has implemented some excellent urban planning ideas since 1974. Is Canada falling behind when it comes to building cities that are good for people?
