Fascinating and inspiring @CanUrbanism round table today, City Circle, moderator @Khelsilem. @KalenAnderson Edmonton, Evelina Hafvenstein-Säteri, Stockholm Plan, @oliviahaddon, Māori Design Auckland, @AlainMiguelez, Ottawa, Gil Kelley, Vancouver

Stockholm City Plan https://vaxer.stockholm/globalassets/tema/oversiktplan-ny_light/english_stockholm_city_plan.pdf

"Paradigm shift" from use-based zoning to context, transect, consistent in these plans. "21st Century planning."

Planners need to recognize their hubris, take a step back. Ask a core value question to engage the public, don't just ask "what do you want." @KalenAnderson

This is, sorry to report, #Nanaimo's approach. Survey: how do you want to see your city 20 years out? #ocp2020ycd

Draft Ottawa city plan embracing the transect, form-based code zoning. @AlainMiguelez

The 3 Indigenous Nations in Vancouver, @SquamishNation @musqueam @tsleilwaututh are the biggest private land owner in the city. "We are at the table... decision makers on our territories." @Khelsilem

"You can't over-invest in public engagement" by every possible method. @KalenAnderson

Hafvenstein-Sateri stressed importance of #gis mapping analysis to measure realization of a plan’s aspirational goals. http://nanaimocommons.blogspot.com/search/label/gis%20city%20centre

Concepts and values that were repeated throughout: resilience, Indigenous, environmental, "social resilience," cohesive, integrated, holistic, context, public space (investments ahead of the market's curve), contain urban growth (UCB), paradigm shift...

The Transect approach will focus on “form and function” by planning for the appropriate shape of new buildings, their relationship with public space, and how they function based on the Transect context #ocp2020ycd @AlainMiguelez @ottawacity https://engage.ottawa.ca/the-new-official-plan/news_feed/transect

. @Khelsilem raised a point I wish had found more traction in the discussion, the need to separate the legislative and judicial roles of municipal politicians at public hearings… @MaxwellACameron : http://www.thesidewalkballet.com/2012/06/time-to-separate-judical-and.html
