Vancouver has become such a global model for urbanism that Vancouverism refers to the twin ideals of increased urban density in the city core, and liveability. The article critically reflect this approach.
The forest of sleek condominium towers that has seemingly sprouted overnight on Vancouver’s downtown peninsula has generated a remarkable amount of interest. A veritable cottage industry has emerged to describe this newly important urban phenomenon. Utterly unthinkable until only recently, Vancouverism is now a new term in the jargon of those involved with city-making.

Inner-city open spaces play an important role in urban life, helping to integrate communities and providing a context for social cohesion. They are prime factors in determining the attractiveness of cities and urban neighbourhoods, significantly contributing to the quality of life of the people living and working in them.
Eurohypo’s International Urban Landscape Award picks up these thoughts and is a competition in recognition of public and private commitment to the improvement of the urban environment and continuing development of the city. Exemplary urban design projects are sought which also provide an inspiration to the development process in other cities.
