Or give something better than the crappy powerpoint for CalgaryNEXT.
Get a good architecture firm to come up with the plans, have some amazing renderings that make people think "WOW! That looks awesome, they city NEEDS to get that!" and you slide the debate into your side.
Instead they use a small-time architect (I know they did the 'Dome and other stuff in the city but times are different. You've gotta go with Populous or HOK or somebody huge) with some crappy AutoCAD renderings and we are left with 'blah'.
There's a lot of stuff that's right from the 'Field of Schemes' playbook that has worked elsewhere, but the fact they started out so poorly is why I do actually think they're incompetent and not just playing the game.
