Another of those gigs where you get paid to attend something informative and inspiring. This time in Surrey, for the launch of their Surrey Steps Up program. Attendees were treated to an overview of Surrey’s ambitious plans for directing future growth to the year 2050 in a presentation (pdf) from Don Luymes, City of Surrey Manager of Planning and an inspiring presentation by Jason Roberts from the Build a Better Block Project.

If you find my short item for the Metro Vancouver blog whets your appetite, you can see all of Jason’s presentation and more info on Surrey Steps Up at the City of Surrey’s website for the program
