In this episode we focus on Vancouver, BC, Canada where we sit down with Clare Warner, to discuss how the City of Vancouver is creating lasting vibrancy beyond pop-up events and installations. 

As the former director for planning and engagement, Clare takes us through the core tenets of environmental design in the downtown core – from the city’s approach to public space ownership, to its unique take on public art installations, and the importance for permanent infrastructure to support outdoor initiatives. Together we dive into the city’s master plan for public art installations, the need for community surrounding local art and events, and we try to answer the question: can events alone be enough to build lasting vibrancy?

This episode covers:

• Creating a space for “invitation” as opposed to “re-invigoration” to avoid the perception of failure
• The data and science behind creating “longer lift” in a community through local events instead of investing in a global phenomena
• While permanent infrastructure is the goal, there is strategy to some semi-permanent spaces
• Creating strong, lasting relationships between private partners and civic representatives such as local businesses, artists, private property managers, cultural organizations and public departments.
• Using innovative solutions to fill the public art spaces such as workshops, experiential installation, and multi-day pop-ups.
