Urban Challenges Forum: Balancing Act

BALANCING ACT: REVITALIZATION WITHOUT GENTRIFICATION An Urban Challenges Forum presented by Douglas College, SFU Urban Studies and the City of New Westminster The physical landscape of New Westminster isn’t the only thing changing. With a boom in development, the city is also going through a cultural metamorphosis – one that isn’t welcomed by all. How can a community evolve to appeal to new buyers and businesses without pushing longtime residents out of the very place they call home?
