The Ottawa Urbanism Book Club, a part of Strong Towns Ottawa, provides an opportunity to connect with neighbours and build community, while at the same time discussing Ottawa topics like how to prevent suburban sprawl, design an effective public transit system, and making walking and biking easier and safer for Ottawa residents.
Two meetings have already been held, featuring around 30 participants each and lots of discussion about creating a sustainable Ottawa.
Future books on the reading schedule include:
- January: Street Fight by Janette Sadik-Khan
- February: Parking discussion with the choice of two optional books: The High Cost of Free Parking by Donald Shoup, and Paved Paradise by Henry Grabar
