Planning and Design of Sustainable Communities:
Canadian municipalities are being forced to reassess how they develop and how they provide a wide range of infrastructure elements and services. This avenue of research is focussing on the development of decision support systems to aid in the evaluation and design of municipal infrastructure from a sustainability perspective. Please take a look at the web page of the Sustainable Community Research Group.
