Is this the city we want to build?

Event image

“Is this the city we want to build?” Please join us for the Jericho Coalition’s citizens’ forum on March 9. It’s a chance to discuss the rapid and drastic change being forced on our city. What do we want? How should we respond? What can we do?

While the focus of our organization is the proposed development on the Jericho Lands, we recognize that the Jericho proposal is just one instance of the massive densification being planned for all of Vancouver. The speakers at our forum will help us understand the forces driving this densification, and they will suggest ways that citizens can effectively oppose it. There will be lots of time for questions and discussion.

Please your neighbours and friends from across the city to attend.

Instead of the luxury high-rise towers pictured above, the Jericho Coalition lobbies for affordable, livable, low- to medium-height buildings at a human scale that won't shade the adjacent park.

Why good family homes aren’t getting built in Vancouver

1,500 high-rises across Metro Vancouver, along with cramped condos and units cynically referred to as “dog crates”, result in units that separate families from green play spaces and friendly streets.

Jericho Coalition demands halt to Vancouver’s Draft Official Development Plan for Jericho Lands – it lets developer drop social and below-market affordable housing unless subsidized at huge cost; massive 60 luxury high-rise towers up to 49-storeys would be highly profitable – and outrageously expensive to Vancouver, BC and federal taxpayers – also on the hook for unnecessary and super costly $8 to $10 billion SkyTrain extension to UBC

Vancouver’s Draft Official Development Plan for the Jericho Lands must be halted because it is a huge taxpayer giveaway to the developer, and alternatives should be considered.
