Urban density fights climate change

14/11/2009

Pedestrian and bike-friendly urban areas don’t just reduce transportation emissions, but fossil-fuel use by buildings as well. Apparently a home that shares its sides with the houses next to it – and we have many of those in Montreal – uses one to two-thirds of the energy that a detached home does. There must be a similar effect for apartment buildings. Had not thought of that! We have lots of row-houses in Montreal, let’s make sure we keep them.
