VREP #447 | Smart Growth through Connected Communities with Bob Ransford

There's a widespread belief that high-density living somehow leads to social isolation - that towers create vertical suburbs where neighbors never interact. But thoughtful planning tells a different story. This week Century Group’s VP of Development Bob Ransford sits down with Adam & Matt to discuss smart strategies for community building near Skytrains as Surrey transforms into Metro Vancouver's second downtown. Drawing from 36 years of development experience, Bob shows how thoughtful design can strengthen community bonds while still accommodating Surrey’s transformative growth. With Surrey's population set to surpass Vancouver's by 2029, this vision of vibrant, transit-oriented communities could reshape how we think about density and connection in our growing region.
