Dimensions of Mobility Report Series

global FRAMEWORKS collaborated with Urban Futures Incorporated to produce a series of reports for the BC Real Estate Foundation and the Land Centre. To guide policy decisions towards appropriate housing and service provision, the reports examined the relationship between age, housing characteristics and mobility patterns of residents in six municipal regions in BC.

Housing Occupancy Demand Publication Series

global FRAMEWORKS is currently working with Urban Futures Incorporated to develop a publication series entitled, Housing Occupancy Demand in British Columbia's Regional Districts 2001-2031. The reports will provide BC's Regional Districts with estimates of population growth and change as well as detailed housing occupancy demand forecasts. The series offer demographic and housing demand inputs important for regional long-range land use, transportation and service delivery planning programs.

BC Climate Exchange

The BC Climate Exchange is a multi-interest program of the Fraser Basin Council and the Canadian Institute for Climate Studies that promotes learning about climate change issues. In 2002, global FRAMEWORKS worked on the project to develop a web-based database of climate change resources. The database contains descriptions and links to a wide range of resources for public education and outreach on climate change. Global FRAMEWORKS also developed a gap analysis of available resources to assist the project in determining new priority projects.

Localized Poverty Reduction in Vietnam

LPRV is a Centre for Human Settlements (CHS) program at UBC aimed at local development planning in Vietnam. With funding from the Canadian International Development Agency, CHS has been working with eight university partners in Vietnam and Canada since 1998 to build local skills around policy assessment and project planning. From 1998 to 2000, Clare worked as a researcher for the project, providing literature reviews and annotated bibliographies related to women and poverty.

Her work entitled Resilient Communities: Social Capital Indicators in Coastal Areas of BC, was published in August 2000 and formed the basis of the project's background research.

Aboriginal Demographic & Housing Publication

Noha Sedky co-authored a research study on population and housing of BC's Aboriginal population for the Urban Futures Institute. The study was a comparative analysis of 1996 census data that looked at major settlement patterns of people of Aboriginal ethnic origin. The demographic analysis focused on population age profiles while the housing analysis looked at tenure, structure type, and age specific maintainer rates.
