| Event Description |
Counting on Vancouver: Our view of the region/ is the inaugural report of the Regional Vancouver Urban Observatory (RVu), the first local member of the UN-Habitat Global Urban Observatory network to be established in the developed world. The report connects the most pressing local urban trends to global sustainable development issues and to the challenge of localizing the Millennium Development Goals. The report is the result of a year and a half of work throughout the Vancouver region and with global partners in the GUO network. The report should be of interest to regional RVu participants, regional decision makers, and researchers and practitioners working to improve urban conditions through better monitoring and information worldwide.
Remarks to launch this inaugural report will be offered by Eduardo Lopez Moreno, Chief, UN-Habitat Global Urban Observatory; Anthony Perl, Director, Simon Fraser University Urban Studies Program; and Nancy Henderson, Executive Director, Social Planning Research Council of British Columbia. Remarks will begin at 7:00 p. All are welcome.
RVu is based at the Simon Fraser University Urban Studies Program, just a few minutes' walk from Canada Place Convention Centre.
