Prince Rupert 2030 Vision
Developed in partnership with the Prince Rupert Port Authority, DP World, Ridley Terminals Inc, and Ray-Mont Logistics, the Prince Rupert 2030 Vision will act as a roadmap for the next 10 years of planning & development in Prince Rupert.
The Prince Rupert 2030 Vision is the culmination of 18 different community engagement events in 2016-17 and two creative workshops in 2019, as well as a collaborative year of working with all project partners and the broader community to research and understand the biggest challenges facing residents of Prince Rupert. The Vision includes strategies and ideas to address some of the most important facets of life in Prince Rupert, including housing, social infrastructure, urban design, parks & recreation, environment & wilderness, downtown revitalization & retail, placemaking, and workforce recruitment.
The Prince Rupert 2030 Vision is greater Prince Rupert’s dream for its future. It sets out the principles, geography, specific intentions, actions, and organizations necessary for growth, driven by a powerful aspiration to see the communities and port of Prince Rupert grow together in mutual support and harmony, as a liveable, sustainable and competitive whole.
The Vision is a statement of civic aspirations, an articulated dream of what Prince Rupert could become as it continues to grow and evolve over the next decade with continued economic growth & prosperity in the region.
Redesign Rupert partnered with accomplished city planner Larry Beasley to develop the Vision. Larry is the Founding Principal at Beasley & Associates, and has held the positions of Chief City Planner for the City of Vancouver; Chair of the National Advisory Committee on Planning, Design, and Realty of Ottawa’s National Capital Commission; founder of the Urban Planning Council in the Middle East, which led to the design of cities including Abu Dhabi; and distinguished Professor of Planning at UBC.
