This was so much fun yesterday. And the best thing that happened was catalyzed by the first question from @Raymond Kan from Planning Institute of British Columbia (PIBC). He asked if we were going to translate the design toolkit into other languages to broaden uptake and impact. We said we'd love to but didn't have the budget yet for it. I jokingly said to the 200+ people on the call 'if anyone has ideas to help us with this, let us know!' And then in very short order, we got offers to help with translation into French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Farsi and German! Now we just need someone (and some $) to project manage this mass translation 😀. If you missed the live webinar, the recording, slides and links to resources are now live in the shared post below. #affordablehousing #housing #design #architecture #urbanplanning #socialconnections #aginginplace #agefriendly #inclusive
