Canadian Chamber of Commerce's Harbour Luncheon
On May 24 Larry Beasley, Co-Director of Planning of the City of Vancouver, gave an analysis on how Vancouver's waterfront planning is resulting in an asset that is attracting people to live, work, play and visit in ever increasing numbers. He showed us how good planning with emphasis on mixed use, controlled massing and open spaces and respect for the human scale can increase a city's competitive advantage in many areas. The transcript of his speech will be loaded as a case study on our website.
Christine Loh, Chair of Civic Exchange, presented planning options for the Central and Wan Chai waterfront that showed improvements to the Government's Plans based on principles similar to the Vancouver experience.
