Get to know us

We started as a small consultancy in downtown Oakville, aiming to improve mobility for all by recognizing links between our built environment and our well being. In early 2010 we were part of a multidiscplinary team examining links between obeisity and transportation and undertook research into ways in which professionals in areas such as planning, recreation, engineering, public works, transit, health care and emergency responders could be more aware of the effects of their work on the welll being and health of the community.

Since then we have been furthering reaserch into effects of changes to the built environment on access to transportation services and on the health and safety of those affected by these services as well as their access to these services.

We have been reaching out to professionals in the planning, engineering, healthcare fields to deterine possible links between each each of these areas and where improved communication, inforation and data sharing and alignment of effort is needed to develop common metrics and coordinate data gathering, planning and policy development to improve access to services and provide greater choice in model of travel.

Through a community of professionals working in these areas we have been advancing mobility solutions that encourage a denser more mixed use type of development of places where we live and work, with a goal of reducing the amount of vehicle kilometres travelled, encouraging more active transportation, and providing a built environment that is safer to travel.

More recently this research has broadened to include effects climate on the planning and design of our environments and looking at ways of reducing anthropological climate change.
