The influence of immigration on Vancouver area

Compared with many cities in China, Vancouver has unique natural conditions. This city has a good international reputation and is regarded as a model of a livable city in the world (such as climate, natural conditions, safety and social harmony).

In the past 15, Vancouver advocated living first, that is, living first.

In recent years, there are few office proposals in downtown Vancouver, and only 10% after 20 10. Vancouver has been trying to establish a residential city center to reverse urban sprawl.

Facts have proved that the best architectural strategy to meet this goal is to popularize a point-like high-rise building on a multi-storey basis. Each of these buildings actually looks beautiful and is suitable for retreat. The ground floor platform can also be designed as townhouses, but the problem is that these high-rise buildings are too similar. Yes, this form of construction is feasible for the goal of urbanization, but the efficiency is too high. The planning goal of building a residential area in downtown Vancouver has suppressed other goals. Vancouver then fell into a paradox: it looked too good to be annoying.

Vancouver has a specific urban lifestyle, which is lazy and leisurely. Demography shows that Vancouver has a large number of professional couples who marry late and have children late, and a large number of wealthy immigrants who live in the old city. They are not single families. There are also many rich empty nesters. Many world-renowned enterprises have set up offices here, with their headquarters in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles or the east coast, all of which are west coasts.

With the return of 1997 to China, Vancouver has become the main destination for North American investment immigrants in the Asia-Pacific region. These immigrants brought high-density living traditions to Wenxi and Nanwan. Point high-rise buildings are more expensive than plate buildings. However, in order to get a better viewing experience, buyers and developers prefer towers.

Vancouver is located on a peninsula, surrounded by oceans and mountains. The peninsula in the city center is geographically limited by water and Stanley Park, resulting in high density.

After 1990s, Vancouver obviously didn't make a good plan to meet the growth of one million people, and the planning zoning was constantly overthrown, so many public facilities couldn't keep up with the development demand. Fortunately, the rapid urbanization in burnaby, Surrey, Kokwete-Salem, Richmond and other surrounding areas has achieved great success, and the continuous expansion of suburbs has reduced the pressure on the city center. 05. High-density and low-intensity urban landscape

Vancouver planning is generally considered to provide a planning model. There are many excellent cities in the world, and a few have adopted innovative planning models, such as Los Angeles and Chicago. The new model means that it provides a different way out for urbanization in planning thought. Some of these patterns can be imitated, repeated and cross national boundaries. For example, the CBD of many cities in China is imitating the big cities in North America. Others are difficult to copy. In my opinion, Vancouver falls into this category. Others are hard to copy, such as Vancouver.

To a large extent, this is because it is not controlled by a strong planning tradition, but is a fusion of many cultures, which has been impacted by capital and immigrants in the Asia-Pacific region in the past two decades. Therefore, local urban design constantly introduces new strategies to integrate and absorb their influence.
