The Planning Institute of BC (PIBC) has recognized former Vancouver Director of Planning Larry Beasley with an Award of Excellence.

Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 was coordinated by Beasley and Associates Planning, in association with Busby Perkins and Will Architects and Civitas Urban Design and Planning. It was granted special recognition at the PIBC’s annual awards ceremony to acknowledge the challenge of planning in such a unique cultural context and within a limited planning and legislative framework.

“This framework plan serves as a showcase for Canadian planners and sets a high benchmark for international urban planning,” said PIBC President Hazel Christy.

Commissioned by the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Beasley and partner firms developed a substantive plan to guide future development in the capital city of Abu Dhabi over a 25-year timeframe.
