    Kim works with business and government agencies to improve sustainability and resiliency by identifying and assessing the impacts of issues. This enables individual, collective and comparative analysis—a critical path to determining priorities and developing an effective plan of action. Sustainability and resilience are about "closing the socio-cultural, economic and environmental loop" on issues to identify efficiencies, achieve goals and build capability & capacity. Kim also develops plans with short to long term goals or plans for projects—large and small. Unique challenges require fundamental change and difficult decisions, which in turn, determine future legacies.

    BOOK published on Dockside Green - a 15-acre infill development project in Victoria, BC, Canada, which was awarded the highest LEED point total in the world (63 of 70 points) for the first two phases of development. I initiated the project in September 2001 and project managed until the successful land sale to developers in 2005. I've owned a condo in the development since 2009 so the book covers the entire 18-year lifespan of the project from initiation, design, construction, operation and culture. The book will demonstrate how this project achieved such a high sustainability rating and what makes it so different from conventional crap! Professional journal articles on sustainable asset management, growth management and development finance are attached below.
