Workshops/Training

Promoting Sustainable Transportation Through Site Design

For sustainable transportation planning to be successful, it is essential for planning, architect and transportation disciplines to integrate their activities in the design of development projects. A key ingredient of the marketing plan is therefore engaging with planners and architects to encourage the widespread adoption of the guidelines through the use of Greenmodes. It is proposed that multi-disciplinary workshops and webinars be offered for this purpose. In the course of these events, the attendees will:

gain an understanding of the underlying principles and scope of sustainable transportation practices in site design, including examples of good and bad practice
undertake a group exercise in applying a sample of these guidelines to a project through the use of Greenmodes (mainly in the workshop setting)
participate in a discussion on how such site design practices can become more broadly adopted.

CITE will shortly be making contact with the Sections to pursue the offering of workshops in each of the areas. In particular, advice will be sought on how best to implement the practices and engage the planners and architects. CITE would appreciate any feedback you may have regarding the Greenmodes project.

To provide feedback or for further information on the system, please contact Kelvin Roberts: kelvin@next-solutions.ca or visit www.greenmodes.ca.
