Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) is a collective impact program that takes a holistic approach for deep stakeholder and community engagement in climate action and urban renewal at the neighbourhood level. It was developed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to help municipalities overcome the challenges of retrofitting older urban communities.
This case study unpacks the SNAP model, its impacts in the Toronto area, and some key takeaways from the project.
