UNA-Canada, in association with the Arthur Erickson Conservancy, is organizing a special evening which will celebrate the internationally renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson and his optimistic vision for the role of architecture in shaping our cities and in providing positive solutions to the significant challenges of human habitat in Canada and across the world.

This exceptional evening is timed to build on the accomplishments of UN-HABITAT's World Urban Forum on Sustainable Urban Development which took place in June in Vancouver and the major retrospective Arthur Erickson: Critical Works at the Vancouver Art Gallery from May 27th to September 10th.
