2009 FCM Sustainable Communities Awards Winner — Brownfields: Overview

City of Victoria, British Columbia

Dockside Green Phase One

The Dockside Green development has served as a demonstration model for many innovative measures and has influenced Victoria’s future land-use policies. The City of Victoria chose co-developers Windmill West and Vancity to turn a large, centrally located brownfield site into a model of sustainable development and urban intensification (managing growth by increasing density within an existing urban area).
