Places and Spaces
This project developed a modelling tool for Canadian communities to assess alternative development pathways. Prior to building our infrastructure, we conducted an environmental scan of what existing models were out there, not wanting to duplicate the work of others.
This interactive chart curates information on existing models in both North America and internationally. While some models offer methods or tools for evaluating plans, scenarios, and impacts, others offer methods for exploring and anticipating potential implications.
