Titan to set up in Vancouver
The City of Vancouver is frequently cited as one of the most livable cities in the world. The challenge facing the City is how to sustain that livability as Vancouver grows.
A sustainable Vancouver is a community that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
It is a place where people live, work and prosper in a vibrant community of communities. In such a community, sustainability is achieved through community participation and the reconciliation of short and long term economic, social and ecological well-being.
Sustainability is a direction rather than a destination. A sustainable city is one that protects and enhances the immediate and long-term well being of a city and its citizens, while providing the highest quality of life possible.
Sustainability requires integrated decision-making that takes into account economic, ecological, and social impacts as a whole.
