Noel Gerard Keough is a champion for undergraduate research. As an associate professor in UCalgary’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Keough worked with undergrad students last year to determine if Calgary’s community gardens were accessible via active transportation routes.

Together, they used Calgary’s southeast Manchester neighbourhood to study safe active transportation behaviours, and food security and access.
“In this project, we are using a sustainability lens to explore how we better integrate housing — or land use — transportation and food in city policy-making,” says Keough. “The Manchester research focuses on the critical question of how are we going to re-design our cities to meet the challenge of the unfolding climate emergency?
