"The city's two top planners, who have shaped Vancouver for the past 20 years and helped make it a model of urban living admired around the world, announced Monday they are retiring.

In an unusual arrangement, Ann McAfee and Larry Beasley shared the job of directing city planning for most of the post-Expo 86 era that saw an explosive growth in development and immigration."
