With over 169 million square feet1 of industrial space in Metro Vancouver and hundreds of thousands of jobs, Vancouver’s industrial sector should not be overlooked as an opportunity to boost the local green economy. Join us for a full day, interactive course on February 21 where we explore why “eco-industrial” is not an oxymoron and how it can reap economic, social, and environmental benefits.
This course is a must for developers, building owners, and municipalities interested in a more efficient approach for industrial development and revitalization. Using real examples, case studies, best practices and hands-on activities you will:
- Learn how to practically and efficiently implement eco-industrial economic development strategies in a British Columbian development context
- Identify and argue the economic, social and environmental business case for new eco-industrial parks and embedding sustainability in existing industrial lands
- Describe the elements of an eco-industrial park project, from ‘raw’ land to site planning, infrastructure design, marketing and more
- Describe the steps to transform your existing industrial lands from visioning, characterization of industrial lands, opportunities assessment, prioritization and planning to eco-industrial strategy development
- Analyze the challenges and develop successful strategies for new and existing industrial lands
