The Smart Growth on the Ground (SGOG) program helps BC communities create visions of a more sustainable future with an implementation strategy to get there. The vision is guided by eight Smart Growth Principles and created through a participant driven process, mutli-stakeholder design charrette, and the integration of location-specific research. Prince George was the fourth SGOG community. My role was to design and lead the public engagement process that guided the development of the plan. The Downtown Concept Plan was unanimously adopted by Prince George Council in 2009.

Facilitated public workshop discussions, prepared public presentations, researched smart growth indicators and benchmarks, assisted in design charrettes, reviewed relevant policy documents, and assisted in the production of final concept plans. Participated in design charrettes for Smart Growth on the Ground Squamish, Britannia Beach, Squamish Downtown Waterfront, Sustainability by Design, “Sustainability Street” at UBC, Emerald Hills Urban Village, and Plan|it|Calgary.
