New document from the American Planning Association. An interesting look at changing values in the US (probably we would see similar viewpoints in Canada) regarding "what is important" in communities and development for different demographic groups.
"When asked what would strengthen their local economy, two-thirds believe that investing in schools, transportation choice, walkability, and key community features is the best way.... For both Millennials and Active Boomers, including those living in today's suburbs, walkability is in high demand."
