About Renewable Cities
OUR MISSION
Renewable Cities uses dialogue and systems thinking to convene groups and build capacity to co-create practical solutions that address interconnected challenges across B.C. We work to catalyze the transition to equitable, livable and resilient communities. We are part of SFU Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver.
SOLVING COMPLEX, INTERCONNECTED PROBLEMS
Renewable Cities uses a systems-thinking approach to tackle our most urgent priorities locally and nationally: affordability, congestion, prosperity, ecological integrity, resilience and climate change.
WHAT DOES RENEWABLE MEAN TO US?
Regenerative, reparative and responsive
Self-sufficient communities that can shift to meet emerging needs, respond to challenges and foster resilience and connection
Equitable and accountable
We include and aspire toward equity and reconciliation in all our programming to support communities foster physical and social resilience, dignity and accessibility
Holistic
Our lens of ‘renewable’ extends beyond the environmental context to encompass capabilities of ‘being renewed’ in social and economic ways that support livability and adaptability
