The Vancouver Model: The World’s Counter-Intuitive City
Vancouver, BC has achieved international acclaim for its livability and compact urban form, making it one model of good planning practice . Larry looks at the techniques and strategies which contributed to effective planning practice in the city.
Sustainable Cities: New Directions in City Building
Larry will speak to the imperative of a new approach to city building that he calls “experiential planning”. This involves understanding and delivering cityscapes that people will truly desire and fall in love with and prefer over unsustainable forms. He will outline what he sees as the basic dimensions of the sustainable and humane city, arguing that the pivotal missing component in city building over the past century has been “placemaking.”
