Can Austin Learn From Vancouver's Success?
Developer Robert Barnstone finds in Vancouver an alternative model for future development ideally suited to Austin, Texas.
In the 1960s, Vancouver -- like Austin -- was a hippie town and since then has had its share of boom-and-bust real estate cycles. But in the past 10 years, the Canadian city has transformed itself into one of the most beautiful, livable cities in North America and, many say, the world. How did they do it, and why should Sunbelt cities like Austin take note? [Free registration required.]
