My topic will be related to the Chinatown Revitalization project and the mini projects that branches off it. The Vancouver Chinatown Revitalization , as the name suggests , is to preserve Chinatown's unique heritage while bringing new life to the community. Vancouver Chinatown have faced many different community conflicts. As of right now the city staff of Vancouver is trying to find short term revitalization options. Some options includes tourist attractions , possible ways to gain profit , partnership with shop merchants and Chinatown property expansion. But in order to reach these expected goals , the city staff came up with a strategy plan to follow along with. Step one is related to research and consultation which includes Surveying local store businesses , holding public workshops to get information and feedback from the residents of the affected area of planning including the public too. And finally discussion about the stakeholders and other community organization’s outputs. The second step of the revitalization of Chinatown revolves around drafting the action plan. In order to do this the city hired AECOM  to research, outreach to the community, and develop a strategy for Chinatown's revitalization. The third and final step is to present the action plan to the community and finding partners and sponsors while doing so. Luckily steps 1-2 is already completed. Now currently the city approved of a chinatown related grant and was awarded 1.16 million dollars afterwards. On January 2015 , Chinatown Society Heritage Building became partners with the city regarding the project. Currently There is no updates as regarding the reform and modern modernization of Vancouver’s Chinatown except that it’s deadline for the CSHB has extended its grant’s deadline.
