Working with City Engineering staff and the Parks Board, the students designed a steel frame installation, which offers a picture-perfect view of the North Shore Mountains. Over the summer, the space will evolve with the addition of a park bench, plants and shrubbery. \u201cIt was a fun and out-of-the-ordinary project for the Engineering Department to work on and it\u2019s really created a focal point for the neighbourhood,\u201d said Assistant City Engineer, Neal Carley.<\/p>\n<p>CityStudio Vancouver is a unique partnership between the City and six post-secondary schools; UBC, Simon Fraser University, Emily Carr University, BCIT, Langara and Vancouver Community College. The Campus-City Collaborative (C3) was established to develop projects and research related to urban sustainability. CityStudio directly involves students in designing solutions for Vancouver\u2019s Greenest City 2020 goals. \u201cConnecting students with City staff to work on real projects is exactly what we hoped the Campus-City Collaborative would do,\u201d said Lee Malleau, CEO of VEC.\u00a0 \u201cThis is a significant catalyst that will help grow the green economy by retaining, retraining and attracting top talent \u2013 a major objective in Vancouver\u2019s Economic Action Strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students at CityStudio have completed projects on local food, green economy, and community dialogue and engagement.<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>The spring program focused on the goal of Access to Nature, with students from interdisciplinary areas represented by all post-secondary institutions: geography, health science, engineering, planning, social sciences, arts, business, food systems and design.<\/p>\n<p>Over 500 students have participated in the first two semesters at CityStudio, attracting enthusiastic support from key City staff, the Mayor, and faculty and managers from six post-secondary institutions.\u00a0 Details for the fall courses will be available soon, for more information, please visit the website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citystudioVancouver.com\">citystudiovancouver.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>About VEC:<\/strong> The Vancouver Economic Commission, an agency of the City of Vancouver, works to strengthen the city\u2019s economic future by helping existing businesses, attracting investment, researching the business environment and making policy recommendations.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC) announced today that students from CityStudio have undertaken work on an innovative project \u00a0&#8211; \u00a0The Orphaned Spaces Project \u00a0&#8211; that will greatly enhance the city\u2019s neighbourhoods.
