36: ONE Varsity and Vertical Neighbourhoods with Sid Landolt

Episode 36: Matt and Taylor are joined by Sid Landolt. Sid is the President and Founder of New Generation Properties Inc. from Vancouver, BC, and one of the developers of the ONE Varsity project in downtown Kelowna. Sid is also a Co-Founder of World Housing, which provides housing for people in need around the world.

 

Sid is here to discuss:
→ The ONE Varsity project and creating vertical neighbourhoods.
→ The cultural impact of the university and downtown densification.
→ And how World Housing is trying to create social change in communities around the world.

 

Our deepest fear
Is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful
beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
"Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented and gabulous?"

Who are you not to be?

You are a child of the universe.
Your playing small
does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking
So that other people won't feel
insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest
the glory of the universe
that is within us.

It's not just in some of us;
It is in everyone.

As we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated
from our own fear,
our presence automatically
liberates others.

-Nelson Mandella (1994 Inaugural Speech)
