Details
Where: Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, 578 Carrall Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5K2
When: 7:00 – 9:00 PM, Monday, November 18, 2019
Free. RSVP is required.
What were the most important decisions around neighbourhood planning, land use, social and economic matters, and development in 2019? This event will bring together local urbanists, planners, architects, designers, academics and more to talk about potential milestones, such as:
- City-Wide Plan
- Culture | Shift Plan
- Housing Affordability
- Climate Emergency
- False Creek Flats Arterial Study
- Broadway Plan
- Resilient Vancouver Strategy
- VanPlay: Vancouver’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan
- City expropriation of neglected SRO’s
- Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) intention to build 11 towers in Sen̓áḵw
We compiled this list, but how significant are these planning stories in the present day and in the long-term future? What makes them innovative – if at all? What’s missing?
Be part of the deliberation!
The forum is free to members of the public who are passionate about local urban issues. Be sure to RSVP as seats are limited. We hope to see you there.
