Renewable Cities

Renewable Cities uses dialogue and systems thinking to convene groups and build capacity to co-create practical solutions that address interconnected challenges across B.C. We work to catalyze the transition to equitable, livable and resilient communities. We are part of the SFU Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver.

What we do

We seek to help cities transition to be more equitable, livable and resilient by:

• Creating spaces for groups to engage with each other, listen deeply, exchange knowledge and build capacity 
• Creating and amplifying resources to help build robust solutions for cities and communities
• Collaborating with other initiatives, including at the SFU Centre for Dialogue, the broader SFU community, governments and other actors seeking to bring positive change to our communities 

How we do it

Our expertise lies in facilitating evidence-informed dialogue, bringing together a range of actors from across sectors and industry to work on shared challenges.

As convenors, we understand the power of dialogue lies in our collective ability to observe and understand the system, make sense of it and develop coherent next steps to address shared challenges. This approach to gathering creates a space to think, reflect, share, connect, learn and problem solve together.
