This policy brief contains "Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada - Case of Implementing a New Planning Paradigm to Resolve Conflicts". - A large number of national projects, including the Saemangeum, Sapaesan and Cheonseongsan Tunnel Section projects, and a significant number of national projects and urban development projects promoted by local governments had to face residents' resistance and law suits, leading to the waste of national finance, economic losses caused by the delayed projects, and social conflicts. - The city of Maple Ridge (Canada) also faced similar conflict problems, but resolved them in a new process-oriented approach by making the parties interested actively participate in the project from the early planning stage. ==================================================================================== Volume No. 86 Writer : Dr. Wang-Gun Lee, Researcher of Urban & Regional Planning Research Division (E-mail : wglee@krihs.re.kr, Tel : 82-31­380­0242)
