How Bold Planning Can Position BC Communities to Benefit from Global Trends - Keynote Speaker Shauna Sylvester

In a rapidly changing world, global shifts in energy, climate, housing, infrastructure, and economic competitiveness are increasingly shaping local communities. In this keynote, urban leader Shauna Sylvester explores how planners are uniquely positioned to help BC communities respond to these forces - and benefit from them. From electrification and resilient infrastructure to housing affordability and quality of life, local decisions are becoming central to economic opportunity and community well-being. Drawing on global trends and examples from across British Columbia, this session will challenge planners to think boldly about how proactive, inclusive planning can help communities attract investment, support future generations, and thrive in the emerging economy.
