Sustainability
of Traditional Settlement Patterns
in
the 21st Century
The
Atlantic provinces are steeped in tradition and cherish
many of the traditional ways of life. At the same time
they wish to develop modern, contemporary societies that
can successfully compete on a global basis. Can
traditional settlement patterns and economic activities
meet both of those objectives? Are small, diverse and
dispersed communities capable of competing against, or
thriving with, the mega-centres that are the engines of
the world’s economies?
Sub-themes
include:
- Settlement
sustainability
- Governance - municipal/regional/provincial
- Energy Costs - new/alternative technologies
- Natural resources - primary industries
