This year, Urbanarium delivered the 3rd edition of Canada’s largest affordable housing challenge and is preparing the next instalment for spring 2025. We hosted Metro Vancouver City Debates, Talks, and Studios, prototyped a virtual reality classroom program for middle schools, and produced wide-reaching videos that challenged the constraints of affordable housing.

Our strategic planning provided a renewed action-based mission to motivate residents, governments and industry to take informed action to improve their cities and to better incorporate reconciliation, equity, diversity, inclusivity and accessibility practices into our work. Over the next three years, we aim to amplify our position as a leading forum in Canada for creative and pragmatic urban solutions through expanded programming and engaging urban centres nationwide.
