Young people live in a monthly deficit position in Canadian cities making urban centers unaffordable to the country’s future generations. On average young people are losing $750 per month by living in cities across the country. To break even young people would need to isolate themselves- no entertainment, no transportation, and no dining out. Is this the position we want young people to be in?
The Youthful Cities Pivot Hub has been revamped and relaunched. Explore our open data portal, featuring data from the Pivot 2020 project, the Real Affordability index, and much more.
Youthful Cities Open Data Literacy & Activation Program: Open Up is seeking to revolutionize the way youth-serving organizations affect change in their communities. By empowering organizations with the tools to activate open data, they can expand the reach of their work and connect with new audiences (funders, policymakers, community members) in meaningful evidence-based ways.
We love data. We love sharing it, analyzing it, and most importantly, collecting it. We’re proud to offer comprehensive, intersectional insights on cities around the world.
We offer a variety of programming to give young people the space to collaborate, innovate, discuss, and build a brighter future using our data as a baseline.
We’re building positive social change and global youthfulness through real, tangible projects—projects that activate, inspire, and disrupt.
