Even before the Olympics were over, we at the SFU City Program knew it would be fascinating to get some of the organizers together to find out what they were anticipating and how they responded to a constantly changing challenge – with no room for failure.
So in partnership with the Planning Institute of B.C. and Architecture Canada, we’ve brought six of them together from three cities for a PlanTalk session:
NEW PUBLIC LECTURES

For those who organized the logistics and planning for the Olympic Games, there was no second chance to do it right. And with the world’s media in town, no way of hiding. PlanTalk has brought together six civic representatives to discuss how they did it and what they learned.
