==== UniverCity ==== {{Main|UniverCity}} UniverCity is an urban community located on top of [[Burnaby Mountain]], adjacent to Simon Fraser University. It has won several awards for sustainable planning and development.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.univercity.ca/news_+_events.8.html?newsId=144|title=UniverCity Honoured With ULI Award for Excellence|publisher=UniverCity|date=2009-04-24|access-date=2011-02-20|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706211236/http://www.univercity.ca/news_+_events.8.html?newsId=144|archive-date=2011-07-06}}</ref> Envisioned in 1963 by Arthur Erickson and Geoffrey Massey, the area adjacent to the university was not officially rezoned for development until 30 years later. Development of the community began in early 2000, when Simon Fraser University commenced construction on a new residential and commercial area occupying approximately {{convert|200|acre|ha|order=flip}} adjacent to the campus. {{as of|2011|9}}, approximately 3000 people live in UniverCity. The main commercial district on University High Street now houses restaurants, stores, and a 20,000 square foot Nester's Market. A new elementary school, University Highlands Elementary, opened on September 1, 2010. Several new residential developments are currently in progress, including the construction of a 12-storey high rise in the heart of UniverCity.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.univercity.ca/code/navigate.php?Id=95|title=Current Developments|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425091741/http://www.univercity.ca/code/navigate.php?Id=95 |archive-date=April 25, 2012|url-status=dead|website=UniverCity}}</ref>
