As part of Isthmus’ ongoing research and development we have been looking to overseas locales for a range of inspiration and direction. Increasingly we see Vancouver as a benchmark in many areas related to urban design and transportation. Isthmus directors David Irwin and Gavin Lister are currently in Vancouver meeting with built environment professionals. Much of their study trip is focused on exploring urban intensification typologies and strategies that Vancouverites call “gentle density”.
In conjunction with Gordon Price , Director of the SFU City Program, David and Gavin will be presenting their work on “Kiwi Urbanism” at SFU.
We look forward to Gordon’s return in October when we will be continuing the dialogue between Vancouver and Auckland.
