Bylaws are laws that control the kind and amount of development in an area
I.e. the city can’t build a garbage dump beside your house

35. Climate
News flash- Canada is cold- this needs to be taken into consideration when building a city
Cities like Montreal and Toronto have underground cities (walkways under ground)
Another solution is indoor shopping malls

The growth of a city is called “Urban Sprawl”
Due to the increase in ubran sprawl we are seeing “new urbanism” come into play
