It is also only recently that attention has been paid to the duration of projects and the roles of a variety of stakeholders in their progression. Using writings on development paths and agency, we show that a project can be reinitiated after its failure. In addition to being just a phase of development during the life of the project, failure can be transformed into a window of opportunity to rethink the project and its governance and allow other stakeholders to take part in its transformation. Based on the case study of Mirabel airport, its failure and subsequent redevelopment, we studied the relationship between the development strategies implemented by the airport managers and those of the municipal stakeholders. We show that while the initial airport project profoundly disrupted the municipal territory of Mirabel, its transformation into an aeronautical industrial site is mostly perceived and supported positively by municipal stakeholders, having enabled a new dual trajectory of territorial and industrial development.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"69 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143826821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They use the related notions of deterritorialization and reterritorialization to evoke or reflect on the problems of territorial neglect or carelessness, and to criticize its causes and consequences. However, when we refer to one or other of these three processes, little or nothing is said about their articulation as a triptych indissociable from our territorial doing, and therefore about territorialization as a global process inherent to our territorial condition, and then about the territorialities that these three specific processes express, mobilize, and nourish. In order to remedy this situation to some extent, this article proposes a conceptualization of their particularities and correlations, and more specifically of their consequences. By thus seeking to embrace and systematize the processual field within which human beings think, say, and do territory, we are attempting to better understand and manage the relationships between human beings and territory.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"69 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a stated-preference survey among university students in Montreal, we explored how participants’ residential preferences are related to their perceptions of urban sprawl and intergenerational justice. A surprisingly large proportion of participants knew very little about urban sprawl. Preference for single-family homes was not particularly pronounced. Preferences for suburban and urban housing options were similarly strong. Evidence was insufficient to conclude that perceptions of urban sprawl were associated with housing choices, but results indicated promising avenues for further research. Residential preferences were more strongly related to perceptions of future urban sprawl than current urban sprawl. Participants were equally concerned about their own futures and those of future generations, and both concerns were associated with residential preferences. Individuals are open to more sustainable housing options. It will be crucial to increase awareness among landowners, developers, urban planners, and renters about the intergenerational significance of housing choices.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet in North America walking is not always accessible, safe, or comfortable. A challenge to creating quality pedestrian environments is lack of data on what barriers exist and how barriers vary across communities. Our goal is to characterize pedestrian barriers and concerns at the microscale level. We analyzed 2,588 reports of hazards, missing amenities, or incidents from WalkRollMap.org, a crowdsourced webmap of barriers to walking or rolling. We assigned themes related to actionable infrastructure interventions and summarized data by location, walkability, street type, and characteristics of who reported it (age, gender, and self-reported disability). Most reports were related to crossings (45%), sidewalk quality (29%), and the volume and speed of cars (13%). Reports were more common in more walkable places (likely related to exposure) and on major roads. People living with a disability reported sidewalk concerns at a higher rate than others, while people over 75 years of age were more likely to identify issues related to the volume and speed of cars. Cities should prioritize risk reduction interventions for pedestrian road crossings and sidewalk improvements, especially on major roads in amenity dense walkable places.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Small-bodied organisms, including arthropods, in montane and alpine ecosystems inhabit environments for which local microclimate and heat transfer is especially important. We developed and applied high-resolution air and surface temperature models for a remote mountain environment using in-situ data for interpolation procedures in ArcGIS Pro. This approach requires recording directional and time-period specific lapse rates to aid in the development of air temperature models. Also examined is the offset between air temperature and surface temperature and to what extent air temperature alone is a reliable indicator of ground-level thermal conditions. We describe an environmentally inclusive surface temperature modelling method that allows for the addition of explanatory layers (landcover, elevation, aspect, slope, and topographic position index) aiding in the interpolation process. These models are used to delineate thermally defined ecological zones and model unique thermal properties of relevance to arthropods across the southern Alberta study area.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143475401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
