As an organization that focuses on city-making, we know that how we relate to the land we occupy matters, and challenges us to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.Urbanarium | For smart citiescharity registration number is 83332 5830 RR0001.

Urbanarium

Building neighbourhood-level interventions + retrofits for climate emergencies.

What can we design to protect each other from smoke, fires, extreme heat and cold, flooding, earthquakes and other environmental emergencies and climate events? Join us in co-designing small-scale interventions, retrofits, and brand new designs that could be integrated in our Lower Mainland climate response planning and action.While the effects of climate change increase rapidly, it doesn&#x27;t feel like our cities are taking quick enough action to build and prepare plans to protect residents in emergencies. What might community driven small scale builds and and retrofits look like? This summer, Urbanarium ran a poll tournament asking which climate solution (water management, public transportation, wind/solar energy, food security, climate response hubs, renaturalization) participants’ thought would have the biggest impact. Alongside the poll was a <a href="https://urbanarium.org/index.php/journal/imagining-climate-futures" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Journal Entry</a> that imagined Climate Response Centres transforming the built environment providing the adaptive vision, community space, respite and resources necessary for change in weather. P﻿lease take our <a href="https://urbanarium.org/program/urbanarium-city-polls" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">new poll </a>where we ask: which climate event do you think we need to prepare for most urgently? The studio is open to everyone. Refreshments from Callister Brewing &amp; Craft Soda will be served! This event has been approved by the AIBC for 2 Core LUs.
