Greater Vancouver GreenGuide

Greater Vancouver has built a reputation as a centre for urban sustainability. Now that distinction has been documented in one place: The Greater Vancouver GreenGuide. Showcasing how Greater Vancouver builders and designers are turning ideas into action, the GreenGuide is a 208 page guide book that includes a map, and has an associated website www.greatervancouvergreenguide.ca

The GreenGuide features 111 projects: green buildings, green infrastructure projects, green neighbourhoods, open spaces, and programs that embody built examples of urban sustainability in Greater Vancouver (including the Sustainable Building Centre). It contains eight self guided tours, the story of sustainability in our region, a thematic index, and a map detailing the location of each project. This highly graphical, user friendly resource will be of interest to local and visiting design professionals, academics, and the general public.

The GreenGuide is an initiative of the Design Centre for Sustainability at UBC in partnership with the Sheltair Group and Holland Barrs Planning Group, and in collaboration with the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Funding was provided by Western Economic Diversification, Vancity, Industry Canada, and University Town at UBC.

The GreenGuide retails for $18.65 plus GST.

This is an amazing idea. But

This is an amazing idea. But connected to this project, also Viajar has created a reputation itself by the great number of people choosing to fly with this company to Vancouver. I think it's the best when two projects are connected.
