The livable city / Vanessa Timmer and Nola-Kate Seymoar.: Iu92-4/6-2004E-PDF

"This paper is a case study of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, the host region for the third World Urban Forum in 2006. Drawing on the literature on livable cities and the Greater Vancouver Regional District’s efforts to bring this concept into practice, this paper poses two central questions: What key factors affect the livability of a city? How does livability relate to sustainability? Livability is herein defined as ‘quality of life’ as experienced by the residents within a city or region."--p. vi.
