SUMMARY:Jane's Walk: An Archaeological Tour of the Habitat Forum 1976 
 site at Jericho Beach
DESCRIPTION:This tour unearths the history of Habitat Forum, a major p
 ublic event at Jericho Beach that was part of the UN Habitat Conferenc
 e on Human Settlements held in Vancouver in 1976. This was the largest
  UN conference that had ever been held, and it was the founding confer
 ence of UN Habitat. The Forum was the NGO and public component, and it
  attracted a who's who of international thinkers on cities and society
  including Margaret Mead, Buckminster Fuller, Paolo Soleri, Pierre and
  Margaret Trudeau and many others. 5 vintage WWI-era seaplane hangars 
 (which were once situated adjacent to the building now housing the Jer
 icho Sailing Club) had been beautifully refurbished for the Forum by t
 housands of volunteers, architects and craftspeople, providing beautif
 ul conference amphitheatres, meeting rooms and social spaces. Despite 
 public outcry, all of the hangars were burned down or demolished by 19
 80. This walking tour is therefore a tour of nothing, though traces of
  Habitat Forum remain if you know where to look. During a meandering w
 alk around the site, the talk will also briefly touch on the fascinati
 ng history of the old seaplane base. For more information see. http://
