Concordia conçoit un nouveau modèle de développement urbain durable
AI Article Summary
A team of researchers from Concordia University has developed a new sustainable urban development model. This model incorporates solar energy, urban agriculture, electrified transport, and the fifteen-minute city concept. The West 5 district in London, Ontario, serves as a living laboratory for this model. The results demonstrate significant carbon emissions reduction and rapid profitability of the solar transportation network.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project illustrates how the integration of sustainable solutions can transform the Canadian urban landscape. For Quebec builders, this means a potential shift in neighborhood planning, which could affect permits, prefabrication of sustainable elements, and optimization of energy-related costs and timelines. Concordia's model might require a reevaluation of urban development strategies in light of new regulations concerning Sustainable Development Goals.
