build a landmark green building Art Gallery
a vibrant art community brings a cultured and an educated population. Vancouver is still a bit of a wild west cowboy town with little in terms of arts
we need a new art gallery. make it bold, make it spetacular, build it along the water, make it the city's next landmark. not like the library that is lost in the surrounding. we have the luxury of a waterfront - think Sydney Opera.

While this idea is too specific to be included in the plan, the draft Greenest City Action Plan does discuss the construction of demonstration projects that can be case studies for the industry to learn from.

I'm for the green and beautiful part, not so much the big, bold,development..

@Alisha: Vancouver has one of the smallest art galleries in cities of comparable size. We DO have a need for a bigger space. It won't change the art scene overnight, single-handedly, but it'll be a sizeable piece of the whole puzzle.
This site (http://www.newvanartgallery.com/faq) articulates it better than I can.

Would love to see this! Soccer and Hockey are great, but art is the drum beat of any city, its sound travels farther and resonates with more people.

Simply building a whole new building will not change the art scene here in Vancouver. Also, isn't unnecessary development not so green?
