At the request of the Calgary Foundation, the Institute for Community Prosperity has prepared scans of major
current socio-economic trends and developments at local, provincial, national and international scales. Some of the themes in this year’s environmental scan look a bit deeper at either the phenomenon of inequality itself or the symptoms of economic marginalization (which also double as determinants of health) – specifically affordable housing and food security. Other sections look at how aspects of modernity are reconfiguring our relationship to each other, for example, through reconciliation or are stunted by the growing epidemic of loneliness and social isolation. Read the the Sh*ts Getting Real Environmental Scan 2022.
