This report by C40 Cities analysed and modelled what could happen if Canada's major cities collectively prioritised a green and just recovery consistent with limiting global heating to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius. A recovery based on the principles of a Global Green New Deal would see COVID-19 stimulus funds channelled to expenditure in key areas, such as building retrofits, mass transit, walking and cycling infrastructure and clean energy.
The publication provides policy and planning recommendations, as well as practical initiatives and approaches that secondary cities can use. It is intended for leaders and policymakers responsible for the development of secondary cities, but it will be of interest to other readers involved in urban and regional development recovery efforts post COVID-19.
