In her talks, she poses new strategies for civic life and inspires us to think differently about how we approach our own work. Through personal stories from her childhood to the present, she illustrates how seemingly disparate experiences in countries from Kazakhstan to South Africa to Finland have come together to incite new perspectives and form a coherent philosophy. Carefully crafted for each audience and cultivated from her own evolving questions, Chang’s provocative and intimate talks explore the power of personal introspection in public space and what we can learn from our collective wisdom.

Task Force: Using Blue Ribbon Panels to Advance Public Policy Blue ribbon panels can be an important component in advancing public policy. In the City of Vancouver, a task force comprised of distinguished and experienced members was critical in focusing public attention, outlining critical issues, and advancing practical solutions to address the issue of housing affordability. Critical to the success of this approach was a political commitment at the highest level, a diversity of views represented on the panel, skilled facilitation of the panel’s work, a responsive municipal staff support system, and openness to innovation and dramatic policy shifts.

Participants will come away with a perspective that provides context for interpreting and writing policy documents, as well as learning the basic structural rules and concepts to use in planning documents. Planning departments are always under pressure to improve service while maintaining or reducing costs. Some are providing core planning services internally and outsourcing specific and skilled services on an as-needed basis; for others, outsourcing is a mode of operation. Although various methods exist, the usual approaches are by way of either a tender call or a call for proposals. Both methods present opportunities and pitfalls.

This session provides a historical perspective of how planning became divorced from food and agriculture, explores tools and frameworks that can awaken the latent potential in a community, and explores lessons learned from the field of comprehensive planning for resilient food and agriculture systems. Participants will learn best practices, how to overcome barriers, and how to establish starting points for including food and agriculture as a critical element of In choosing to enter the planning profession, it seems most planners do so to effect greater good. What we learn quickly is that the success of our work rests on the soft skills of communication, facilitation, and integration – skills that are more intrinsic than tangible and more about feelings than about the actual work produced. Our contribution to communities, and our leadership as professional planners, is based as much on inspiring others as on our educational background, technical knowledge, or years of experience.

Using Financial Statements to Understand Public Space Development Resourcing Tomorrow: Long-Term Financial Planning “How did this place come to be?” Halifax harbour area is a place that often elicits this question. The Waterfront Development Corporation, which has been involved in this area’s development since 1976, will present its work by exploring the financial business lines and laying bare the mechanisms by which it performs its planning, operations, development, and event management work. Guided by the financial statements, presenters will simplify the complex story of how the Corporation created infrastructure supporting water access, made capital investments in public space, cooperated with government, and utilized unique funding models. Local governments face the ongoing financial challenge of delivering on the demand for local services within a context of shifting demographics and changing population levels— and without raising the cost to citizens. In a traditional planning environment, most local governments only deal with short-term annual budget issues, yet this typical short-term focus comes at the cost of long-term financial imbalances created by short-term reactive strategies. Long-term financial planning serves to bring the long-term implications of actions taken today to the forefront of decision making. This new model has staff from all areas of local government working together to create an organizational shift to focus on long-term financial sustainability.

The soundscape informs our relationships to our communities. As planners, we often consider sound as either ‘good’ sound (nature, gentle music, etc), or ‘bad’ sound (traffic, construction, loud music, etc.), and our efforts have largely been to limit/eliminate ‘bad’ sounds in our environment. This panel will address some of the fundamental questions, policies and regulations related to sound: • How sound influences and helps define how we experience our communities; • How urban space is shaped by sound; • How issues of sound are dealt with; and • What types of activities are influenced by the acoustic ecology of space and place. Participate in a lively debate around the ideal balance between quiet/pleasant/livable, and vibrant/active/exciting communities and environments.

The workshop concludes with an interactive review of planning and development policies that do not tend to yield desirable outcomes and a discussion on how these might be altered to improve results. Note: This longer format workshop runs until 4:40 pm, and requires pre-registration.

Communities globally face serious infrastructure challenges: assets are failing prematurely, infrastructure needs major repairs, and funds are not sufficient to address these needs. This workshop offers a mini infrastructure management boot camp for planners. It is structured around a simple case study (a small community water system) and uses hands-on tools to effectively convey key learning objectives, which can be applied to any community, regardless of size. It is intended to broaden participants’ understanding of infrastructure management and develop new perspectives about how planners help build healthier, more resilient communities. When school boards decide to close neighbourhood schools in favour of building “big box” schools on the edges of communities, the decision is often based on short-term funding. Even when a municipality adopts an official plan that is working to bring more people back to downtown, school boards may make decisions that are disconnected with broader planning goals. An opportunity for encouraging active travel is lost, which detracts from healthy public policy and neighbourhood design. The session explores the role of neighbourhood schools, school site selection processes, planning policies, and how to make healthy planning policies.

They have travelled extensively, finding diverse testing grounds in a variety of economic and governance structures for the essential features of Vancouverism, They will draw from their post-Vancouver experiences to suggest new directions for communities looking to improve the robustness of plans to address the new economic, social, and environmental challenges.

Closing the Planning-Implementation Gap Need to strengthen your public participation techniques, bench press your body language, or stretch out your communication skills? This workshop is aimed at a diverse array of professionals who need to interact with the public using leading-edge tools and techniques. A fastpaced 150-minute mental workout will showcase trending communication techniques, exercise creative engagement skills, and balance body language awareness. Participants will leave feeling challenged, empowered, and engaged. Note: This longer format workshop runs until 1:45 pm and requires pre-registration. Official Community Plans shape how we design, service, and program our communities, and are often visionary, well-considered documents. However, they can also be lengthy, full of jargon, and they change more slowly than communities do, making them inaccessible for those who might help ensure their successful implementation. Can OCPs benefit from user-centered design? This session will explore how planners can learn from usability professionals to make planning processes and products more enjoyable, attractive and easy to use, with the aim of closing the planning-implementation gap.

Though the issues are challenging, they are not without solutions. The local food movement is an ally, taking aim at food security, food accessibility, and environmental degradation. In Vancouver, purveyors of local food are part of the potential transformation of the city’s food systems, connecting multiple avenues of production and sparking a wider network of food growers, sellers, and enthusiasts. This mobile tour provides a glimpse into how these networks are forming, focusing on the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood as fertile ground for community movements and local urban gardens. Aboriginal communities, rehabilitation centres, tenants of single-room occupancy, business owners, condo owners, and the wider community are realizing the potential of local food for community revitalization. Participants will enjoy a meal of local food at the Potluck Cafe.
