INTRODUCTION
The NEFC Directions for the Future document summarizes the recommendations and research from the NEFC High Level Review. The NEFC HLR had previously developed rather broad directions for developing the NEFC area, including rezoning, density, and land use. This document outlines a vision statement and principles to support the vision, which expresses a need for mixed-use development, advancing sustainable development, creating a distinctive sense of place and a unique destination within Vancouver, encouraging innovative forms, fostering a vibrant waterfront and more. Within each direction that aims to support the vision, the document also outlines somewhat more specific ‘guidelines’ on achieving the goals. For example: “3.1.9 Provide opportunities for urban agriculture” (NEFC Directions for the Future, 2009, p. 13), or “3.2.3 Make NEFC more attractive with distinctive identity, vibrant public spaces and lively venues and streets” (NEFC Directions for the Future, 2009, p. 15).
