{"pk":3413,"title":"Vancouverism: Actualizing the Livable City Paradox","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This article provides a cautionary tale about the progressive tendency to construct and improve upon livable cities. By showing how Vancouverism has actualized the livable city paradox - one part rural romance of living close to nature, and one part urban romance of diversity and complexity - it is able to draw out some of the pernicious implications of doing so. There are no ready solutions to the complex scenes that are sketched, but we can get a better sense for how to respond appropriately within and to these scenes, by looking backwards rather than ahead.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/08x3z9d4","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Serena","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kataoka","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Victoria","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-06-01T21:34:55+02:00","date_accepted":"2012-06-01T21:34:55+02:00","date_published":"2009-06-01T09:00:00+02:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3413/galley/2171/download/"}]}
