Yes

Mandating green spaces is a one-size-fits-all approach that would impose an unnecessary burden on developers and accomplish nothing besides killing affordable housing projects.

 @9MW8Y2BConservativefrom Ontario  agreed…9mos9MO

researches and science always have confirmed zillion times that nature and green spaces are good for human brains and bodies.

Should city planners prioritize the desires of developers, or the long-term environmental and social benefits of green spaces?

 @9VNPZW2 from Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

The second option. Green spaces improve the happiness of a city's denizens.

As well as absorbing excess waters, and also absorbing heat to avoid making a place too warm.

The long-term environmental and social benefits of green spaces -- making it easier to build low-quality housing ultimately decreases quality of life for everyone in the country.

Depends on if there is a lack of such things already or this would cause there to be a lack thereof.

No, funds for parks and greenspaces should be captured in development fees paid to provinces and municipalities.

Yes and No, there might not be enough space to include green spaces and parks

 @9PZ8ZPNfrom Nova Scotia  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, and local government facilities should plant native hardy plants instead of current popular trends.

 @9P8NRFMNew Democratic from Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

If possible, housing developments and communities should prevent environmental ecosystems from being too disturbed or destroyed. If this is not an option, previous ecosystems should be reintroduced elsewhere in an appropriate place where it can be insured that the ecosystem won't be too disturbed or possibly destroyed.

 @B257KZLfrom Manitoba  answered…2mos2MO

I think you should be able to have green space in your area but the parks shouldn't be required for it.

New housing development should focus on using existing resources and infrastructure to create accessible housing.
