Join us for a Jane's Walk this year with Dean Gregory, University Landscape Architect at Campus & Community Planning.
Jane’s Walks are free, locally organized walking tours that give people the opportunity to get together to explore and celebrate their neighbourhoods. They are held annually around the world including at UBC to celebrate and honour urbanist Jane Jacobs, an advocate for sustainable and community-centred neighbourhoods. Jane’s Walks are not only educational, they are fun as well, and provide a great opportunity to meet your neighbours, and learn together.
This Jane's Walk will show how thoughtful planning is addressing the needs of students, faculty staff and visitors in a growing campus community. A tour of recently completed projects and projects underway will be visited including Library Garden, University Commons, the Bosque, MacInnes Field and University Boulevard will reveal how UBC’s plans and ambitions around the public realm, resiliency, biodiversity, climate change, zero waste, community engagement, and ecological and human wellbeing manifest in the texture of the evolving campus.
When: Friday, May 3, 2019, 12:00-1:00
Where: Meet outside Robert H Lee Alumni Centre
