As far as employment planning goes, we rely quite heavily on an excellent advisory committee the NCC has, containing some of Canada's leading land planners, architects, and so on. The emerging view is that people should live and work in the same place, that we shouldn't force people to live a long distance from where they're working. So as the capital evolves, I'm sure that will be a driving principle, that jobs be located where people work, to minimize commuting and the carbon footprint of the area.
