"Getting from Good to Great: Place-Making for Sustainability in Terrace, BC."

Place-making is the art and science of creating good urbanism. The formula for place-making is rather simple yet often difficult to achieve and requires attention to four essential ingredients: intensity, connectivity, diversity and density. Whether in Toronto or Terrace the formula is unchanging. Getting the right balance of these ingredients will depend on local context, natural features and built forum. This talk will describe the art and science of place-making as well as provide some insight into place-making for good urbanism and sustainability in Terrace, BC.
