Keynote Presentation - DALE MIKKELSEN - UNIVERCITY - DOING GOOD WHILE DOING WELL

The community of UniverCity, adjacent to Simon Fraser University in the heart of metro Vancouver, has been a decade-long experiment in sustainable market development.  With only three years to go until development build-out, UniverCity’s story can highlight successes and failures in the quest to build more sustainably, while proving that sustainable development is market-ready. 

The Simon Fraser University Community Trust has experimented with several green building, alternative energy, and green community rating systems. The Trust has also tested the tolerance of the development community for change, and the tolerance of the municipality for innovation and redundancy.  Dale will share the solutions that continue to work today while highlighting the pitfalls of being a slave to ideals.
