Flâneuse is a book club for those who love urban planning and transportation. The group is building a network to talk and reflect on walking, planning, and transportation, via a selection of books where women and walkability play a significant role. This is a safe space to amplify female-identified voices by reflecting on the role of women in public spaces.
In this session we'll talk about Happy City by Charles Montgomery. City Library has print and ebook copies, as do North Vancouver District Library and West Vancouver Memorial Library.
