Vancouver is widely considered one of the most beautiful and best-designed cities in the world. But this lauded, progressive urbanism is in danger of becoming tired and stale, according to Vancouver Matters. Contributors were asked to examine a particular aspect of the city and offer fresh ideas for change. Including a wealth of color and black-and-white photographs, illustrations, and charts, the book studies the city's urban discourse to see how it can be changed to help Vancouver live up to its legend.
