Readiness Analysed
The data informing the Ottawa opportunity.
Area X.O in Kanata North is Canada's cold weather testing site for applied technology
For Berkof Ottawa’s readiness gap is the kind an allocator can action. What makes the readiness gap specific is that every point of the +4 gap sits in conditions the city has already built. The readiness gap implies that Ottawa is waiting on the demand to arrive, to catchup with a livability platform and quality of life, that it has already developed.
Three insights from the data.
THRIVE
Policy and regulatory environment means Ottawa’s hydroelectric grid, with 60% renewables is grid embedded rather than retrofit dependent.
ATTRACT
Quality of life attractors, like affordability, and net talent velocity, shows it is predicted to absorb affordability driven talent from other metros.
ADAPT
Strong climate safety, which includes water security, and governance preparedness, shows robust institutional buffers are in place for climate adaptation.
