An interesting read for the history but, reading in 2022, many sections are sorely out of date. In the 15 years since this book was published Vancouver has become an unaffordable city, pushing out diverse communities and killing its culture. I can’t help but wonder if that’s down to the self-congratulatory attitude shown in this book by its politicians. It’s also worth noting that First Nations land issues occupy a paltry two pages at the end of the book. Hardly sufficient given BC’s troubled history. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Time and again, Vancouver is recognized internationally as one of the best places to live. It achieved that reputation by breaking rules and forging its own brand of North American urbanism. City Making in Paradise details the nine most important decisions made in the Greater Vancouver region since the 1940s. Authors Mike Harcourt and Ken Cameron, themselves key players in several of these developments, reveal the political machinations, the ideological struggles and the personal commitment that lay behind each one. By tracing today’s successes back to their roots, they illustrate their central theme; that cities are the result of the daily choices we make as leaders, activists and citizens.
