Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.

Renewable Cities uses dialogue, systems thinking and applied research to convene groups and build capacity to co-create practical solutions that address interconnected urban challenges in British Columbia and across Canada, including housing and transportation. We work to catalyze the transition to equitable, livable and resilient communities.

We are part of the SFU Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue. Our expertise lies in facilitating evidence-informed dialogue, convening cross-sector actors to address shared challenges, and developing practical resources that map pathways forward.
