Elevation 2.0 - SS-08: Sea Level Rise Doesn’t Stop at Jurisdictional Borders: Collaboration on the North Shore
July 06, 2022 | Posted byPublié par : CIP | Climate Change, Elevation 2.0, Environment
This panel presentation will share the experience of developing the first multi-jurisdictional sea level rise strategy in Metro Vancouver and possibly in BC. Located on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish First Nations, the North Shore region of Metro Vancouver extends over 65 km of Salish Sea shoreline. Sea level rise is a significant concern, as coastal land uses include port, industrial and commercial, critical transportation and power infrastructure, high-density mixed-use and single-family residential, park, and sensitive ecosystems. The session will explain how the District of North Vancouver, City of North Vancouver, District of West Vancouver, North Shore Emergency Management, Port of Vancouver, and Squamish Nation collaborated to develop the award-winning North Shore Sea Level Rise Risk Assessment and Adaptive Management Strategy (2021). Panellists will review the project’s process, explain how partners worked across jurisdictions, what the technical analysis revealed, the communications and engagement tactics used, and lessons learned. Attendees will learn how the strategy is being implemented with a new Coastal Development Permit Area in West Vancouver.

Elevation 2.0 - SS-16: Re-imagining Chinatown: How Culture Will Shape the Future of Cities
July 06, 2022 | Posted byPublié par : CIP | 2.0, Elevation
How can we transform our ways of planning so that culture can shape our cities? The City of Vancouver’s Chinatown Transformation Team (CTT) uses an innovative approach that sees cultural values and a community’s way of life as the key to shaping its future. Their process expands our understanding of planning’s role by going beyond buildings and into matters of intangible heritage, community identity, relationship building and community-directed change. The result will be a long-term plan to address Chinatown’s social, cultural and economic needs and maintain it as a vibrant living community. In this session, CTT planners will share their experiences working to tackle complex challenges and sustain Chinatown’s cultural heritage as part of the City’s commitment to cultural redress and equity. They will share lessons learned on values-based planning, the community stewardship process, cultural asset mapping, and more. The principles shared in this session apply to communities beyond Chinatown. They are valuable for any planner interested in advancing equity, meeting the needs of minorities, working with the community and shaping communities through culture and heritage development.

Elevation 2.0 - WOR-03: An Introduction to Plan Evaluation Fundamentals
July 05, 2022 | Posted byPublié par : CIP | 2.0, Elevation
Urban and regional planners are often unsure about the impacts of their interventions, particularly when they must contend with the many “wicked” problems and challenges that characterize much of planning practice. Plan monitoring and evaluation have long been recognized as key elements of plan-making and implementation. In practice, however, planners tend to aspire to – rather than do – plan evaluation. This session will introduce participants to the fundamentals of plan monitoring and evaluation. It will (a) review key evaluation concepts and processes; (b) discuss the characteristics of useful indicators; and (c) consider factors that can impede or facilitate effective plan evaluation. The session will be two hours in length and comprise lecture and presentation content from PowerPoint slides along with exercises to apply course learnings.

A brief introduction to design principles 2. An interactive, back-to-basics dashboard collage exercise replete with markers, glue and magazines 3. Deeper dive into data visualization do's and don'ts with takeaways that participants can implement in future work 4. Conclude with a crowd-sourced dashboard building exercise, using live participation to build a dataset and populate a dashboard.

Elevation 2.0 - LT-10: Accessing Whistler Through All Ages
July 05, 2022 | Posted byPublié par : CIP | 2.0, Elevation
Learn about Whistler’s latest accessibility projects and how accessibility benefits everyone. The tour will start with a presentation on the Resort Municipality of Whistler's interactive map and how it is used to inventory, maintain and bring awareness to the accessible infrastructure within the main Whistler Village. Participants will then travel to Whistler Olympic Plaza to learn about managing accessible infrastructure and opportunities for improvements when making capital investments. We will explore the site’s design rationale and how development included consideration of everyone: patrons, staff and performers. We will visit the inclusive play area designed for children and parents of all abilities for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. At the Gateway Loop, participants will see how the facility works better for everyone, and hear about accessibility of the Whistler transit system and plans for improvement. The tour will conclude at the base of the mountain to learn about the emerging adaptive mountain biking and hiking market, adaptive skiing, snowboarding, freeride and race programs, and accommodating all guests on both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
