Larry Beasley with a prologue by Frances Bul

Summary

This book tells the story of the urban planning phenomenon called Vancouverism and the philosophy and practice behind it. Writing from an insider's perspective, Larry Beasley, a former chief planner of Vancouver, traces the principles that inspired Vancouverism and the policy framework developed to implement it. A prologue, written by Frances Bula, outlines the political and urban history of Vancouver up until the 1980s. The text is also beautifully illustrated by the author with 200 colour photographs depicting not only the city's vibrancy but also the principles of Vancouverism in action
