Maytree Foundation

The Urban Project aims to empower Canadian cities to take on the big challenges they face, and to generate the action and ideas needed to solve those challenges -- from immigration, affordable housing, and the need for new infrastructure, to adapting to advances in technology, urban mobility, and the impacts of climate change. The Urban Project will strengthen relationships and leverage expertise across all orders of government, civil society, the private sector, and academia in ways that will promote, build, and share innovative and scalable local best practices to tackle these challenges in cities, where the vast majority of Canadians call home.
