Good #citybuilding, #development, #urbanism, and #density are part of the solutions to the current crisis - not the problem. Check out this post by our CEO & Founder, @carlaguerrera for her thoughts on this topic. #urbandevelopment #cities linkedin.com/posts/carla-gu…

Our Founder and CEO, @carlaguerrera, shares her insights on the opportunities that brownfield and waterfront #revitalization offer as we move into the economic recovery stage of this crisis. #economicrecovery #economicdevelopment linkedin.com/posts/carla-gu…

✓Better for our climate, better for our health, better for real estate values, better for #citybuilding, and now better to keep us safe in a global pandemic ☀︎What other opportunities for better #citybuilding and better #urbandevelopment do you see emerging? #sustainablecities

There are so many lessons we are learning that provide opportunity for massive positive changes. For one, our current crisis is teaching us that social spaces in increasingly dense urban places matter...more space in the streets for people and cyclists and improving #walkability

The question we are asking ourselves right now is: How will we use this crisis to serve better city building and better development projects? #citybuilding #cities #urbanism #realestatedevelopment #mixeduse #neighbourhood #urbandevelopment #walkability #density #urbandesign

Carla will be sharing benefits, lessons and examples of collaborative partnerships between municipalities, First Nations, private sector in #landdevelopment, #economicdevelopment, and #landuseplanning that demonstrate how UNDRIP can be implemented. We hope to see you there!

With UNDRIP recently adopted as legislation in BC, we are excited to announce Carla's session at the upcoming 2020 BC Economic Summit, "Discovering the Economic Potential of UNDRIP" on March 10. Find out more: bceda.ca/summit.php #UNDRIP @EconomicDevBC

It's a carefully crafted fine balance and it works. Purpose and profit.... for the win. #triplebottomline #mixeduse #collaboration #citybuilding #urbandevelopment #realestatedevelopment #highrise #commercialrealestate @Purpose_ROI @carlaguerrera

Bringing purpose to the forefront of projects, making development work for cities too...what they need and want can strengthen economic viability of projects, reduce timelines, approvals, budgets, while increasing marketability and profit. #winwinapproaches #purposedriven

When you meet with City of Vancouver on your innovative mixed-use, mixed-income project, and they love it and support it and say (re shadow impacts) “We are in a housing crisis not a shadow on the neighbour's pool crisis.” #collaboration #mixedusedevelopment #affordablehousing

As we focus on developing mixed-use, mixed-income developments in walkable complete communities as the foundation of great city building and vibrant development, let's not overlook the economic contributions affordable housing also provides. #mixedincomedevelopment @carlaguerrera

There is a common perception of affordable housing as not economically contributing, or a non-entity in the market. But in fact, affordable housing contributes to the local economy in several ways...bit.ly/2u7fMCn #affordablehousing #urbanplanning #cities @Purpose_ROI

Our industry is disrupting in this area out of necessity, and quickly. Business as usual is no longer acceptable. #architecture #planning #urbandesign #realestatedevelopment #landuse #brownfieldrevitalization #masterplanning #construction #engineering @Purpose_ROI

If you work in planning, design, development, construction, and are not bringing your company forward, expect to be lagging behind and hit with added costs and bottom line impacts as government climate policies and regulations are implemented. #citybuilding #planning #leadership

Cities everywhere are beginning to step up the required leadership necessary to confront climate change. cbc.ca/news/canada/mo… #climatechangeleadership #climatechange #urbandevelopment #cities #citybuilding #realestatedevelopment #landdevelopment @carlaguerrera @ULIBC @_PIBC

"The collaborative approach behind these initiatives catalyze the necessary investment in #waterfrontrevitalization on the basis that the private sector is not able to address these large-scale challenges on its own.”-@carlaguerrera #landscapearchitects @ULIBC @_PIBC @CIP_ICU

“Successful #waterfrontrevitalization world-wide is characterized by a comprehensive #redevelopment strategy, paired with strong local government leadership, often in partnership with senior levels of government and the private sector...." - @carlaguerrera #planning #cities

As the lead consultant on this major #waterfrontrevitalization, our firm is proud to be working to unlock potential and transform these under-utilized post-industrial lands into a new mixed-use, leading-edge 230 acre waterfront in @Mission_BC bit.ly/2PSwbBi
