THE site IS TO THE region WHAT THE cell IS TO THE body.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Over the next several years, Sustainability by Design will create and coordinate a series of design briefs, research tools, stakeholder design charrettes, educational events, community workshops, exhibitions and publications. Municipal officials, researchers, citizens and local stakeholders will explore consensus-based concepts for how a sustainable region might evolve.

These community processes, research initiatives and policy tools will provide a unique opportunity to test key sustainability principles and targets against real site constraints and emerging market conditions, and to see what kind of communities and neighbourhoods might result in BC’s Lower Mainland over the next several decades.
