The City in 2050: Industrial land use and intensification – May 2

From the The Urban Land Institute B.C.:
Creating Blueprints for Change: Exploring Industrial Land Use and Intensification
May 2, 2013 at 2:00 pm
Vancouver Convention Centre
The City in 2050 series is an ongoing speaker series designed to examine the needs of the people, places and policies that will influence planning and development in British Columbia now and into the future.
Metro Vancouver’s Industrial land base is in limited supply. Using this land as efficiently as possible is increasingly important and a key objective as we move towards creating the cities we want to thrive in for 2050.
Join us for an engaging discussion and debate about what “efficient use of industrial land” could mean across the region and across BC.
