Summary
The Dynamic Cities Project (DCP) is an enterprising non-profit organization based in Vancouver that helps local communities adapt to unprecedented global challenges including oil depletion and climate change. The DCP conducts scenario-based research in collaboration with local professionals and governments, in order to develop practical tools that foster the growth of more resilient cities, towns, and neighbourhoods.
Based on discussions with municipal staff, local politicians and consultants there is an expressed need to develop strategies for cities and regions to quickly become less dependent on fossil fuels. The DCP is contributing to that process by working with municipalities within the Greater Vancouver Regional District to develop integrated energy transition strategies for urban and regional planning.
