Power at Ground Zero

Politics, Money, and the Remaking of Lower Manhattan

Lynne B. Sagalyn

The City of Vancouver has not had a comprehensive City-wide plan to guide the development process since the 1990s. We want to open up the discussion and find out whether citizens believe that this is a worthwhile process, and if so, what it should look like.

The City of Vancouver is now accepting submissions for the 2016 Urban Design Awards, which celebrate projects that demonstrate excellence in architecture and design and contribute to creating a vibrant, livable city.

Entries are now being accepted in the following categories:

·    Residential buildings – small, medium or large scale

·    Commercial buildings

·    Government and institutional buildings

·    Urban elements

·    Innovation

·    Outstanding sustainable design

·    Landscape, public space and infrastructure
