Post date: Nov 9, 2013 12:15:21 AM

Sustainable Prosperity has produced a report and website, http://thecostofsprawl.com/, that shows how the market is distorted by government policies and tax structures that encourage greenfield development and loss of agricultural lands.

Sustainable Prosperity is a national research and policy network, based at the University of Ottawa.

SP focuses on market-based approaches to build a greener, more competitive economy. It brings together business, policy and academic leaders to help innovative ideas inform policy development.
