Today Nic and Alex are Joined by Arden English (The Greater Discussions). They discuss Arden's journey into urban planning, housing affordability, climate change, aging infrastructure, and the Burrard Inlet Rapid Transit Plan. They also cover converting old industrial spaces into public areas, the broader role of transit systems, rapid bus routes, transit priorities, and the influence of local politics on transportation projects. The conversation highlights community engagement and the impact of educational experiences on urban planning interests.
