Vancouver Primps for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games: The LAI Vancouver Weekend Experience May 7-9, 2009
The Vancouver Weekend Experience provided participants with an overview of the
facilities for the 2010 Games together with some unique perspectives on current
economic conditions and their implications for the development and use of land.
After an evening of renewing old acquaintances and making new ones at the President’s Reception, participants headed north on Friday morning on the newly rebuilt Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler for tours of the now complete facilities for Nordic events, biathlon, cross-country skiing and ski jumping plus the Whistler Olympic Park and athletes village. Stops along the way included the latest British Pacific Properties developments in West Vancouver and lunch at the Squamish Lil` Wat Cultural Centre.

The sun broke over downtown Vancouver just as LAI members were gathering for dinner at the Terminal City Club on Friday evening. After enjoying a pesto bocconcini pearls and fresh plum tomatoes, followed by a steamed wild Pacific salmon, participants gained insight into the global economic crisis from Maurice Levi, Bank of Montreal Chair of international Finance at the University of British Columbia. Professor Levi drew upon the monetarist perspective of his Ph.D. advisor, Milton Friedman, to illuminate the credit crisis and explain why tax cuts would yield a more efficient stimulus than the public spending programs which are being pursued.

Professor Levi brought a light touch to such a serious subject, showing the famousYouTube clip of English comedy duo John Bird and John Fortune discussing the subprime mortgage meltdown. He concluded by observing that the return of capital was now being given greater weight than the return on capital. While understandable, this approach would likely exert a drag on the economy.
Saturday’s adventures began with a tour of Vancouver’s newly expanded Trade and Convention Centre, which is to be the media centre for the Olympics.
Participants received a ground-level orientation on Living Shangri-La, the first North
American foray by the Shangri-La chain) with a presentation by Architect James Cheng.

After an exploration of reinvestment projects in the city’s troubled Downtown East Side,the group walked along the new seawall in Southeast False Creek for a presentation on Millennium Water, which will be the athlete’s village for the Vancouver-based Olympic events before being recycled as housing after the Games. When the private financing for this project was knee-capped by the credit crunch, the City of Vancouver made the gutsy move of taking over financial responsibility in order ensure that the project is completed on time.

In the afternoon the group traveled south to Richmond to view the Richmond Olympic Oval, the venue for the speed skating events whose flexible design will allow it to be used for a wide variety of sport and community activities post-Games. The tour continued to the University of British Columbia, where the University’s innovative market and non-market housing and community development projects were featured. The last stop on the tour was a sneak preview at the Museum of Anthropology, designed by the late Arthur Erickson, which was to be re-opened to the public the next day after a major expansion and renovation project.

Saturday evening’s dinner was at the venerable Vancouver Club, just next door to the Terminal City Club. After a convivial cocktail reception and a fine dinner of prawns and beef tenderloin, participants experienced a thoughtful presentation by Dr. Michael Stevenson, President of Simon Fraser University, on the relationship between the university and the city, both in general terms and in the context of his institution. Simon Fraser has had to overcome a number of challenges, including its initial Burnaby Mountain location which, while a suitable palette for Arthur Erickson’s stunning campus design, removed the University from daily contact with other activities in the region. Dr. Stevenson showed how the University’s development of facilities and offerings in Downtown Vancouver and Surrey City Centre have helped overcome this gap to the mutual benefit of both the University and its region.

As the Vancouver Chapter members said good-bye later that evening, we had a feeling of satisfaction at having been able to share with our visiting colleagues Vancouver’s readiness to step out on the world stage, combined with pleasure at what all involved had learned from each other about current issues in land economics both here and elsewhere.

It’s always the same, yet different. Every time I attend a Land Economics Weekend I learn something. Yet what I learn is usually different. Vancouver taught me two unique lessons. First, that dense clusters of urban high rise residential buildings don’t have to block one another’s view. Second, that public infrastructure investment should be done with an eye to the legacy that the investment provides the community. Let me explain.
I come from Chicago, where the typical high rise building is usually a rectilinear 25,000 sq ft floor plate. Put a bunch of those buildings side by side and across the street from each other and we get a canyon effect where the view is limited to the building across the street. Yet in Vancouver I saw another model, one which is a smaller footprint of between 7,500 to 9,000 square feet. The result is what they term a “pin point” building, not a “slab”. Often placed upon a two to three story plinth containing ground level shops, with upper level flats, all worked around a central parking structure the design provides well scaled buildings fronting the street and small footprint towers sited to afford views between the adjacent high rise buildings. Thus, one can look at a virtual wall, or cluster of high rises and still see elements of the mountains beyond. A building design form that creates streetfront activity and permits expansive high rise views. Now that’s a lesson to consider.
The second lesson is about legacy. Vancouver will play host to the 2010 Winter Olympics, and a highlight of our tours was visiting a number of venues. At all the sites we visited, the Nordic ski course, ski jump, sliding centre, Whistler Olympic Village, speed skating oval and the Vancouver Olympic Village, to name some, the emphasis of the discussion and presentation was less on the design of the facility to serve the athletes and more on how the facility can serve the community after the Olympics. I came away from these discussions with the sense that our colleagues in Vancouver are certainly proud of hosting the Olympics, but are even more excited about how the Olympics has served as a stimulus to better the larger community. Now that’s legacy!
All this got me to thinking that what I witnessed in Vancouver was joint private and public development efforts which think about the future, not just the present. That’s also a lesson we can take back to our home communities.

Dear Colleagues,
I Looked Over Jordan and What Did I See...
DEVELOPMENT! I have just completed a fantastic journey looking at the three countries with the eyes of one in development-- old and new!
Vancouver: an amazing City, one I have always admired for its foresight in planning and design and management of transit and transportation. But after an absence of several years it was awesome to see how thoughtfully the former Expo Site has been built out....views of the water carefully preserved, a necklace of parkland along the waters' edge which is designed to encourage diverse public uses and enjoyment. Impressive! And there is a lot of development underway across the City. Also a city wide rail system well under way. The careful mixture of residential, office and retail, the respect for existing neighborhoods has ensured that the City feels interesting, enticing and very livable! I wouldn't say that the economic downturn wasn't having a negative effect, but a respectful amount of development is still proceeding.
As in the case of the Expo site, the improvements for the Olympic Games are also designed to provide facilities to serve the City for the future. In particular the attention to the needs of the Paralympics' as well as superb facilities for all of the Olympic events will ensure that the City will be internationally known for its ability to accommodate winter sports events for the foreseeable future. And anyone who has ever driven the "highway" to Whistler will be awestruck by how it has been widened and improved. This is a road that in addition to being narrow and crooked is scrunched in between steep rocky mountains on one side and overhangs a railway and the water on the other. The improvements include amazing engineering feats cantilevering it out over the railway and water where the mountains couldn't be cut into. I was highly skeptical when it was mentioned that we'd be driving to Whistler (I get carsick easily) and was delighted when this turned out to be such a pleasant trip!
As President Pollock writes, the Chapter and Vancouver really taught us so much and provided such warm hospitality that I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there were some of us still there.
On to Israel: I had a pro bono opportunity to serve on a National Association for Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) panel working with the Israeli Ministry for Housing and Development. This allows NAHRO members to learn from Israel and for us to share ideas with their staff. So I left the cool loveliness of Vancouver and spent a week seeing and discussing Israeli developments, and sharing the "how tos" of inclusionary housing, business improvement districts and similar issues. There is a lot of development throughout the country. The ongoing efforts to replace 60 year old housing, and to build to accommodate population growth, and proving housing programs to lure the Bedouins in from nomadic life, all require enormous resources. This is mostly governmental funding, although a new condo and office market is emerging in the cities and we saw some great public-private mixed use developments. There is lots of office building in the three major cities and some in the smaller communities too. The development in the Negev Desert is amazing.
Sam then joined me and we did some serious sightseeing. The Dead Sea is being turned into a major asset to the Israeli economy. Cosmetics are being produced there that are sold around the world and potash is a big export as well. Lots of other sights we will be a long time digesting!
Finally Jordan: This was purely a visit for pleasure and we toured from Aqaba to Jarash. The country has long been known for its beauty, and also poverty, it missed the oil economy, but despite seeing a lot of need, the growth in the major communities is amazing! They have lots of scenic areas, the historic city of Petra one of the most notable, and they are friendly and eager for tourism. In the cities we saw, at a minimum 8 -10 major hotel, condo, and office developments under construction. There seems to be a high approval rating for their new King and his focus on improving the country's infrastructure and services, so new hospitals, clinics and schools are also either underway or in planning.
I suspect it may be difficult to get development entitlements in both Israel and Jordon -- for different reasons but one underlying one is the historic nature of the countries. I think it is hard to sink a shovel anywhere without turning up something archeologically significant. Amman retains old colorful markets, a huge amphitheatre from Roman times still in use and tiny streets where one can squint and imagine one's self back a 200+ years. Among this mix is a magnificent new city hall, art and culture center and a huge museum in final completion stages.
Terrifically interesting to see the contrasts and similarities in these diverse countries and to be where development is actually underway - quite an eye-opener for one from the land of quiet cranes and half built dreams.
Till next time.

Phoenix Chapter:
1st Apprenticeship Event June 4th, Mark Winkleman, Arizona State Land Commissioner
Lambda Alpha International’s members represent a diverse group of professional disciplines in fields related to the ownership and use of land and buildings.
The Society’s original goal of “fostering a closer association with academia and professionals involved with land economics and related fields”, while still valid today, has expanded. The Society is now a catalyst for the advancement of land economics by facilitating the interaction of members who have distinguished themselves in their professions, their communities and through academic achievements.
The Phoenix Chapter of LAI has created an Apprenticeship program to provide a unique opportunity for future prospective members to share and learn industry knowledge, expertise, best practices, lessons learned, and life experiences while being mentored by LAI members in the LAI format. This will also provide an opportunity for LAI members to engage younger professionals, who are the future of our organization, outside the structure of the invaluable members’ only meetings.
The Apprenticeship program will be available to professionals under the age of 40 who do not yet qualify for LAI membership, but who are potential future candidates for membership. Participation in the Apprenticeship program is by invitation-only through a nominating and vetting process of the Apprenticeship Committee. The Apprenticeship Committee will consist of five Apprentice volunteers and one LAI member to serve as a liaison to the LAI board of directors.
An annual participation fee of $75 will be paid to LAI by each accepted Apprentice to assist with funding the program. Payment of the fee will permit participation for one year, upon which a renewal invoice will be sent to the Apprentice. The program participants will meet four to six times per year. An LAI member will serve as guest speaker at each of the meetings to discuss topics relevant to the Apprentices’ careers and/or current issues related to land use within the community. Any net revenues will help to fund the LAI scholarship program.
To be considered for nomination you must complete the online application and pay the $75 participation fee.
The mission of the Phoenix Lambda Alpha International Apprentice Program is to facilitate the development of tomorrow’s leaders in responsible land use by fostering knowledge-based relationships between land use professionals in the early stages of their careers and accomplished LAI members.

Brookings Institute's Call To Action
Mountain Megas: America's Newest Metropolitan Region
Learn about the new Federal Partnership which will help our region prosper!
These trends and challenges require a new approach. Massive new growth is coming to the Intermountain West. Pursuing a business-as-usual approach will not be good enough for the region to ensure sustainable growth, productive growth, and a prosperous middle-class. With new focus on the region and new ideas in the air, an opportunity exists to shape the region’s impending growth, boost its productivity, and promote upward mobility through creative collaboration with the federal government.
Speakers and Panelists:
Robert E. Lang
Nonresident Senior Fellow, Metropolitan Policy Program, Brookings Institute
An urban planning and policy expert, Robert Lang focuses on suburban studies; demographic and spatial analysis; metropolitan governance; the “built environment”; and other issues of environmental psychology. He is a director of the Metropolitan Institute at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
Phil Gordon (tentative)
Mayor, City of Phoenix
As Mayor, Gordon lists his three priorities for the city as: Public Safety, Education and Jobs. He has already chalked up a tremendous record: Light Rail, ASU Downtown, a new downtown hotel, expansion of the Phoenix Convention Center and the passage of a $878 million bond program. The U of A Medical School is now in downtown Phoenix and, according to The Tucson Citizen, "Credit for this belongs to UA President Peter Likins, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and members of the Board of Regents who hammered out details between two schools that have been traditional rivals."
Commentator and Moderator:
Grady Gammage, Jr.
Partner, Gammage & Burnham Attorneys at Law
A part time Senior Fellow at ASU's Morrison Institute, a practicing lawyer, an author, a sometime real estate developer and a former elected official, Grady Gammage thinks life is more interesting if you do lots of different things.

San Diego Chapter:
Change of scenery in June: the June luncheon meeting will lure LAI members away from Downtown San Diego to Balboa Park’s Natural History Museum. There they will enjoy a presentation on recent paleontological finds from a construction site in Downtown San Diego. Included among the treasure trove of prehistoric fossil finds: partial skeletons of a Columbian mammoth and a gray whale.
Several LAI San Diego members made it to the Vancouver Land Economics Weekend earlier this month. Mike and Laurie Madigan, Dennis and Patty Moser, Alan Nevin, Sherm Harmer (and his wife Becky) all participated. The feedback has been fantastic! San Diegans have long known that Vancouver is a living laboratory of innovative and cutting edge urban planning, but the preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympics are clearly taking the Vancouver region to the next level. LAI Vancouver hosted an exceptional weekend of one-of-a-kind tours and access to key public and private officials. San Diego has many parallels to Vancouver and can benefit from a better understanding of the Vancouver model. The San Diego contingent sends a special message of appreciation and gratitude to LAI Vancouver.
