Built to Last: A Different Approach to Urban Planning (Video)
< Saturday November 19 in : What's New
Our Perma Culture Group has been meeting to discuss the new land that Barrie has annexed to the south of the city in what was formerly part of Innisfil township. We would like to see the City of Barrie develop these lands in a more sustainable manner. The old building ways of “Urban Sprawl” is no longer acceptable or beneficial to our communities. If we could live , work and play in our community, it would be so much better for all. To have to get into a car for everything we do is not wise. Imagine, walking to work, school, the gym, grocery store and green spaces. Imagine families that did not need two or three cars to survive. Imagine eating food grown locally and imagine a community where you actually knew your neighbour and felt part of a society. It is not impossible. Get involved and tell the city that the same old development in no longer a good use of space and is not what we as citizens what to see. Check out this short Youtube video:
