"This book explores the incredible potential of cross-sector partnerships among private developers, nonprofits and various levels of government to share a portion of the wealth created in real estate developments to support the greater good. By orchestrating these important partnerships and championing social causes, architects are able to achieve socially valuable urban planning goals such as affordable housing and community amenities that promote a vibrant urban culture. This book highlights the success and failures of such efforts with case studies of eleven Vancouver, BC building projects, in the hope that the lessons of these innovative projects may help guide other cities towards a more just existence."-- Provided by publisher.
