Tour Outline

Despite numberous accolades about our fine quality of life, Vancouver doesn't fare very well when it comes to civic gathering places. Public squares and plazas exist - but never seem to succeed on the scale of other cities. This tour will wind through a selection of the main downtown squares - and participants will have a chance to learn
about some of the history, design considerations, and original intents behind the
spaces... as well as some of the criteria that make good spaces work.
