What letter grade would you give Greater Vancouver?   In our interview with Jas Johal, Dr Tim Moonen explains how Greater Vancouver cannot rest on its laurels and instead must look ahead to what will drive future success.   This includes managing our expected growth by introducing an infrastructure platform, better land use planning, a systematic approach to inclusivity to ensure newcomers can reach their potential, and critically ensuring jobs are being grown for the future - high paying jobs from high performing companies.   #Benchmarking2024 #GreaterVancouver #Vancouver #Economy

Like any great athlete, big cities took their lumps and just got back up to fight. Canada's largest cities, like most countries, are providing the much-needed fortitude and muscle to keep the economy moving amid tough macroeconomic conditions. We talked to clients and the media during the pandemic and gave our best estimation that cities were not in fact going to decline; great to see the big guys get back up off the mat and ground their feet for the battle ahead. 🔔 Follow Simon S.

On July 18, our Building an Economic Powerhouse Field Trip, will tour members and non-members through areas in the region that are enabling and supporting economic investment. Participants will hear from the businesses themselves about why they chose to locate here – and their thoughts on how we might further enhance our profile and outlook. Co-hosted by Malcolm Bruce MSM, ICD.D, CEO of Edmonton Global, and Gregg Maimann, Senior VP of CBRE, attendees will hear from Mayor Tanni Doblanko (Leduc County), Dennis Peck (City of Leduc), Raelyn Kruitbosch and Ellie Scott (Edmonton International Airport (YEG)), Michele Evans Prairies Economic Development Canada I Développement économique Canada pour les Prairies), Kelso Brennan, MBA, PMP® (Hi Signs), and more! We will tour Leduc Business Park, Amazon, Edmonton International Airport, Premium Outlet Collection Mall, and end the tour with a social gathering with food and beverages. Register ➡ https://lnkd.in/gwJMdNAk Outside Edmonton, and throughout the region, municipalities are meeting the demands of local, national, and international markets and increasing their economic competitiveness through availability of land, low taxes, and permissive land use policies. Our industry and association are committed to job creation and the development of high potential industrial lands – as they can generate 10-20 times more revenue than residential development. We have heard incredible stories like how Amazon’s lot grading plan only took six days to be approved in Leduc County versus 30 months in the Greater Toronto Area. How investments to transportation infrastructure like the Nisku Spine Road has led to key business expansions from the likes of The Little Potato Company and HelloFresh. And how the Edmonton International Airport has enabled a mix of uses on their campus to support employees and visitors, and welcome growth and development.

No doubt about it: Vancouver is beautiful. It’s beautiful to visit, it’s a beautiful place to study, and it’s a beautiful city to retire in. “But,” says Bridgitte Anderson, the CEO of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, “it’s not so beautiful of a place to build a robust economy.” In fact, according to a new report commissioned by GVBOT, “the region’s economic size and mix under-performs when it comes to creating high-paid jobs or high-performing companies.” Compared to 20 other “high quality mid-sized city-regions, spanning 9 pillars across economy, liveability and infrastructure and sustainability, Vancouver is well below par.” Anderson says. “Vancouver ranked 14 among the 20 cities for prosperity factors.” Looking ahead, Anderson says, “The region has to address its underlying weaknesses soon if we hope to stay competitive.” Central to our ability to compete is Vancouver’s beautiful geography, an area that is confined by sea and mountains. Anderson says, “The upshot is that we have to innovate more deeply to stimulate housing, job and economic development.” We invited Bridgitte Anderson, ICD.D, the CEO of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, to join us as a guest on Conversations That Matter about where our attention needs to turn to close our productivity and prosperity gap.
