myPG - Prince George ICSP and OCP Review
Back to projects page
Prince George's ICSP is an ambitious project to create a planning and implementation framework for the whole community, including the city, partner organizations, and citizens. Called myPG to capture its relevance to everyone in the City, its goal is to align all community efforts to achieve a shared long-term vision. The ICSP is seen as a first step in a longer journey towards sustainability. The ICSP must therefore define the first big step, and create the conditions to forge beyond it. This project is particularly interesting because it offers the rare opportunity to link an ICSP closely with an update of an Official Community Plan (OCP), and leverage resources for maximum effect. The OCP is seen as a way to immediately implement the ICSP, by aligning it with ICSP goals and targets, and taking focused action on land use and transportation, design, and other factors. Other aspects of implementation are also considered, especially governance: how the community works together to achieve its vision.
