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.”
