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}

We challenge this assumption by analyzing the subjective handling of infrastructures in a remote rural area in British Columbia, Canada. Based on the analysis of empirical material from photography-supported interviews, we argue that fully capturing the influence of infrastructures on local communities requires a relational approach to infrastructures understood as infrastructuring. Derived from the conceptualization of infrastructuring in science and technology studies, we developed the notion of infrastructural autonomy. With the notion of infrastructural autonomy, we are able to outline our findings that subjective and place-sensitive handlings of infrastructures promote gains in personal ontological security. Based on our qualitative study, we argue that a closer examination of the subjective relation between a place, its infrastructure, and its inhabitants is crucial to understand the infrastructural needs of a place as well as the well-being of its users.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cag.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143380895","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}

Rather, it is produced and reproduced over the years as a discourse (in the Foucauldian sense) that operates through a variety of categories of knowledge. In this way, development is a set of socio-political and economic beliefs—an undeniable truth—that is exported to Pakistan through international institutions and technocrats. This paper attempts to understand the dissemination of development in Pakistan by focusing on the constructivist tendencies of development that employ various discursive strategies and language techniques to naturalize the socio-economic and political hierarchies both socially and spatially. Taking the planning and development of Islamabad—a model urban settlement and a crown jewel of development in the country's history—as the case study, this research finds that various labels, linguistics contrasts, othering, and socio-economic hierarchies were constructed and employed to construct the socio-materiality of development as a natural order of things. This developmentality (drawing on Foucault's governmentality) is found in more than 150 planning and policy-related documents from 1957 to 2018, showing the patronization and reproduction of power hierarchies, inequalities, exclusion, discrimination, and control.","PeriodicalId":47619,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Geographer-Geographe Canadien","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143380234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
