On Spaceship Earth we have the challenge and the opportunity to create our economy and global society in harmony with our environment. The City of Vancouver is commited to establishing a sustainable community in South False Creek. This project can be Canada's showcase of sustainable development to the world. As East and West meet here on the Pacific Rim, there are unique circumstances for us to demonstrate optimum living based on essential sustainable technology. Sustainability is living innovation, a paradigm shift allowing us to do more with less, a technological advantage.
Voluntary simplicity fosters a richness of self and community relations.
This is our proposal, our VillageQuest to build an integrated sustainable community. A project for and by the children of the next millenium. Today much of this area is an industrial wasteland. Now, through the use of living technology, we have the opportunity to create a human scale community, one that is sustainable and regenerative. Production has brought us significant material wealth, yet has brought us a kind of poverty - personal and interpersonal.
