While it seems that not a week goes by where something in the media doesn't catch us off-guard, many times we shouldn't be surprised. No one - not even planners - can predict the future, but there are methods and frameworks to build resilience and adaptability into our everyday work.

Strategic foresight is the art & science of anticipating, exploring, and shaping the future. Understanding how trends, technology innovations, and behavioural changes will unfold in the years to come helps shape resilient teams, organizations, and strategies. This interactive webinar will challenge participants to think critically about how they think about the future and provide some practical approaches on how to scale this mindset within teams & organizations.

Planning for Equity with Data - October 24 2022

Although often difficult to access, locally relevant data can be critical for planners, public health professionals, and policymakers to help vulnerable populations and communities. To fill this need, a new Canada-wide tool that aids the visualization and analysis of environmental and socioeconomic data in support of planning, is now available – HealthyPlan.city.

The tool has been developed by HealthyDesign.City, a partnership between the Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE) and the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto.
