Christopher C. (2014). Housing Affordability within Complete Communities: A Descriptive Case Study of Metrotown Town Centre. Simon Fraser University.
In the study, the researcher examined the livable region strategy which outlines the vision for the Metro Vancouver region that focuses on development as well as growth on the strategically placed region town center. Metro town, is a community in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, it was among the four initial region town centers. The author also looks at the reason behind the success of the town which was as a result of the city of Burnaby being committed to developing the metro town as the complete community. The author argues that the disconnect that exists between housing and affordability, as well as complete community principles at the metro town, led to the displacement of the residents through the demolitions. The author used quantitative as well as qualitative methods for analyzing the way Metrotown performs as a community that embodies housing affordability as well as complete community principles. The conclusion was that Burnaby started the path for the development of Metrotown which laid the foundation for the Metrotown explosive growth being seen today. The study is relevant as it provides a case study for use by urban planners as well as academics who are interested in housing affordability outcomes for urban intensification schemes including a complete community.
Rob F., Nadine S., & Jennifer H., (2006). Improving Census-based Socioeconomic GIS for Public Policy: Recent Immigrants, Spatially Concentrated Poverty and Housing Need in Vancouver. Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada V5A 1S6
The authors, Rob Fiedler, Nadine Schuurman, and Jennifer Hyndman from Simon Fraser University presented the innovative approach for developing a discerning spatial dimension for risks of homelessness among the recent immigrants in Vancouver, Canada. In conducting the study the authors used the dissymmetric mapping as well as a postal survey for improving resolution as well as utility for the census data. The key finding illustrated the potentiality for the development of more nuanced understanding for spatial dimension for complex socioeconomic phenomena by use of combinations for secondary data as well as primary data. For the study it argued the high-resolution data aided in identification as well as understanding of socioeconomic phenomena which is highly localized as well as misrepresented by the coarsely data which is aggregated. The study is relevant since it provides the discussion for potential population surveillance and being weighed against benefits for the policy makers, researchers, organizations and the non-governmental.
Craig E., & David L., (2016). Transit-oriented development and gentrification along Metro Vancouver's low-income Sky Train corridor. University of British Columbia.60(1). DOI:10.1111/cag.12256
The authors for this study, Craig Jones and David Ley, examined incipient gratification for the low-income corridors which follow alignment of Sky Train rapid transit routes via Vancouver as well as the suburbs. For the corridor it contained the concentration for aging, private, low-rise apartments which were built via welfare state programs for 40-50 years ago having become affordable home for the poor residents including the recent refugees as well as immigrants. In conducting of the study focus groups in the suburban Burnaby confirmed the neighborhoods as highly valued by the residents since they are near family service as well as the stations for the sky trains. The key finding was that the transit proximity was bringing transformations via regional sustainability policies transit for development that permitted the construction of the high-density condominium tower around the stations. In the Burnaby the redevelopment being accelerated by up zoning policies for NDP-led municipal council, removed planning protections from apartments. The study is relevant since it contributes to the critical assessment of the TOD as well as state aided gentrification demonstrating how the environment aspirations could exclude social justice from the policy registers.
Craig E., (2015). Transit-Oriented Development and Gentrification in Metro Vancouver’s Low-Income Sky Train Corridor. University of Toronto. vi, 40 pp. ISBN 978-0-7727-9123-8
The author, Craig Jones the transit-oriented developments as well as gentrification where from 2012 up to 2014, the Burnaby city had been issuing demolitions permits for over 300 apartments. This was not significant amount in context for the apartment’s demolition in Vancouver regions in that period, but its notable that almost 50 apartments units were demolished in Burnaby in the period of 2002 to 2011 as well as most recent demolitions being concentrated in a single area. The area was neighborhood for Maywood in the Burnaby region town center of the Metrotown. The report analyses data from 2010 national household survey as well as the other quantitative data that was complemented with dozen expert interview with four focus groups with the local residents. The findings are that presence of low incomes in Sky Train corridor is strongly linked with the dense concentrations for the purpose constructed apartments. The study is relevant since low income individuals appreciate the area due to amenities being provided while for demolished apartments they are replaced by the condominium towers.
Keltie Craig Consulting (2021). Social Equity & Regional Growth Study: Considerations for integrating social equity into regional planning and Metro 2050.
The author examined the growth for Metro Vancouver by involving the social equity to the regional growth planning being vital to ensure region move forward in equitable as well as inclusive way. Main purpose for equity and regional growth was identifying how the social equity consideration could better inform the growth of the region. A quantitative spatial research being undertaken in study was being developed by the mapping series of the 49 social indicators for equity, production of the inequity baseline. This was the first inequity of baseline developed for the Metro Vancouver as well as first of its kind in Canada bringing together data in that manner. 49 indicators for inequity baseline were analyzed by the use of principle components analysis. Groups as well as weighs data based on the similarities in the variations as well as correlation. It was relevant since it assisted in identification of the patterns as well as consolidating larger amount of dataset examined by the study.
