A bestseller, it influences how we look at economics as well as social and environmental policy and land use planning. The framework has been embraced by Amsterdam and a bevy of other cities \u2013 Brussels, Portland, Philadelphia \u2013 and the first city in Canada, Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. The doughnut envisions a \u2018sweet spot\u2019 where basic human rights and needs \u2013 what Raworth calls the \u201csocial foundation\u201d \u2013 are met without people falling into a hole while at the same time respecting Earth\u2019s carrying capacity. She contends that not only are many basic needs not being met by our current economy, but that we are in a condition of ecological overshoot as manifested by the climate crisis. So, what does this all have to do with land use planning? Planners address basic human needs, such as housing. Moreover, how cities are built has enormous implications for climate change, air pollution, retention or destruction of habitat, and overall environmental and social resilience. In this panel discussion, planners will learn to apply the \u201cdoughnut economic framework\u201d in their day-to-day work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-44581","resource","type-resource","status-publish","hentry","resource_category-plan-strategique"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cip-icu.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource\/44581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cip-icu.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cip-icu.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/resource"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cip-icu.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
