A joint project between the Royal Roads University Canada Research Chair on Sustainable Community Development (CRC) and Sustainable Solutions Group (SSG), this policy agenda for the implementation of sustainable development at the municipal level is the latest outcome from the CRC’s research continuum.This municipal action agenda is derived from a sustainable cities strategic review, including case studies of international best practices, with an analysis of these cases towards their potential applicability and adaptation to Canadian contexts. Six cities were reviewed in the case studies: Copenhagen, Sydney, Portland, Växjö, Malmö and London. Research and analysis for the international case studies included extensive interviews with key officials from each of these cities. This project brought together an advisory group of municipal decision-makers, practitioners, planners and researchers from 20 Canadian municipalities and organizations. Through a series of e-Dialogues (virtual realtime meetings), this group examined barriers to sustainable development experienced in their municipalities, considered the potential relevance of achievements made in the six international case studies, and explored concrete solutions and actions that could be implemented in Canadian communities.
