It&#8217;s always useful, then, to see what&#8217;s going on elsewhere for inspiration. This Wednesday, as part of the lead-up to the unveiling of the Plateau&#8217;s official transportation plan, urbanist Jayne Engle-Warnick will give a presentation on &#8220;green neighbourhoods&#8221; in Europe. Her lecture, which will be delivered in French, will look at how cities across the Atlantic have created spaces, streets and neighbourhoods that are human-scaled and designed to encourage public interaction and active modes of transport. She will also look at how these experiences can be applied to the Plateau. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanecology.net\/\">Urban Ecology Centre<\/a> at 514 282 8378.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green laneway in the lower Plateau WHAT?
