REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings Learn about the Legacy of RedliningHow does city planning and design relate to equity and climate change?
Angela M. 4/21/2021 1:02 PMCity planning and design is so important in developing a well-connected community. It allows for more affordable options for transportation, such as cycling and public transit which can ultimately reduces the number of drivers and traffic congestion in large cities, such as Toronto. For example, setting up bike lanes and installing barriers between cyclists and the drivers encourages more people to cycle with less worry about safety. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Climate Resilience Support Businesses Owned by Women, BIPOC, or ImmigrantsGlobally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. What have you done in the past to support women-owned businesses? How can you better support communities by supporting women?
Angela M. 4/21/2021 12:57 PMI try to support women-owned businesses whenever possible, and do my research before purchasing specific products. By supporting both women-owned businesses and small shops, it allows for them to have a better chance of not being pushed out by large corporations as well as gentrification.
