Accelerating Digital Adoption & Streamlining Regulations

Season 2 Episode 3 - Accelerating Digital Adoption & Streamlining Regulations

In this episode of Blueprint for Growth: Innovation and Housing, host Amy Vilis explores how cities and tech leaders are modernizing the systems that govern how homes get approved, reviewed, and delivered. 

Rene Cravioto shares how Vancouver is shifting from paper-based permitting to standardized, digital workflows—highlighting the real-world complexities of multi-team reviews, digitizing bylaws, and building machine-readable rules that enable faster, more predictable services. Zane Franzen brings a private-sector lens, showing how better data, AI-driven tools, and integrated systems (from BIM to APIs to automation) can increase transparency, reduce friction, and connect long-fragmented workflows across government and industry.
