What were the defining decisions, actions and events of 2017 in planning and development that could prove to be transformative in Vancouver’s evolution?

Four leading urban thinkers and achievers discussed 2017 decisions and events in planning and development that have been identified as possibly having a transformative influence on the evolution of Vancouver. The panellists also offer their own ideas on proposed milestones of 2017 and respond to suggestions from the audience.
 

The discussion was moderated by Sandra Singh, Chief Librarian, Vancouver Public Library. (1:05:51)
