Assessing equity in urban forest distribution in Laval, Quebec

This project aims to assess the degree of sociospatial polarization of green space in the City of Laval, Quebec, compared to the Montreal Greater Metropolitan Area (Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, CMM) and identify which areas in the city have reached or have the potential to meet proposed metrics for distributional inequalities in green spaces. The project will also quantify relationships between proposed metrics and economic indicators, and evaluate whether target measures are more likely to be more equitably achieved if key areas, such as golfs, are preserved, or restored.
