Built Environment and Health

This report shares the history of indigenous community planning, describes the failures of the built environment on-reserve, and proposes ways to improve the built environment for on-reserve communities in Canada. It advocates for the replacement of Western development with indigenous planning and highlights housing, water, food, infrastructure, and road safety as major concerns.
