The United Nations chartered RCE, which is hosted by the Institute for Environmental Learning, will undertake the intensive urban design charrette from<strong> 20\u201329 May, 2011, at Simon Fraser University\u2019s Harbour Centre Campus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the urban design charrette is to explore ways to meet population targets identified in Metro Vancouver\u2019s regional growth strategy by applying the principles of human-scaled urbanism at the level of the neighbourhood centre, or \u201cquartier\u201d. Coordinating community design with implementation of public transit and the provision of social housing, educators and urban design experts will work with 42 SFU students from SFU\u2019s Summer Institute of Environmental Learning to demonstrate socially, economically and environmentally sustainable urbanism implemented in our Historic Area.<br \/>\nThe charrette is part of the BC UN-RCE\u2019s Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood Network (SUNN) project, an initiative to research and develop a more open, inclusive, and cost-effective neighbourhood planning protocol. Focused on long-term sustainability through growth, the charrette will demonstrate and test a streamlined sustainable Community Planning process in Vancouver\u2019s Historic Area.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information, please contact:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Lewis Villegas, Charrette Lead \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:lewisnvillegas@gmail.com\">lewisnvillegas@gmail.com<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>David Samis, BC UN-RCE Coordinator \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:wttcoordinator@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">wttcoordinator@gmail.com<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BC\/North Cascades Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development (BC UN-RCE) is pleased to announce that the Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia has contributed $10,000 to support an urban design charrette in Vancouver\u2019s Historic Area.
