This course aims to familiarize the various initiators and/or stakeholders of urban or controversial projects with new approaches to managing the risks associated with popular protest.
The popular protest (NIMBY) in the United States is the #1 cause limiting the real estate expansion of multi-family projects, the situation being similar in Canada and other democratic countries.
