An update on Friday’s conference:
The ULI British Columbia Young Leaders Group is pleased to invite you to the Fifth Annual YLG Cascadia Regional Conference!
Please join us for two days of lively discussion, exciting project and neighbourhood tours, networking events, and fabulous Vancouver, BC scenery. Our keynote speaker, Rollin Stanley, General Manager for Planning, Development & Assessment with the City of Calgary, will share his findings and set the tone for this year’s conference theme: (Re)Building the City. The theme of the conference will focus on two concepts:
- Rebuilding the City: will focus on the changes to the traditional “central cities” (i.e. Vancouver, Seattle and Portland) in terms of intensification and adaptation.
- Building the City: will focus on the changes to the traditional “suburban cities” (e.g. Surrey, New Westminster, Burnaby, Hillsboro and Bellevue) and how they are becoming or already are their own economic entities separate and distinct from the central cities.
July 26-27, 2013
Check-in begins at the Terminal City Club at 7:45am on Friday.
Conference begins at 8:15am.
