By Scot Hein with illustrations by J.G.
This is the final part of a three-part graphic novella, bookending the Zoning Must Evolve series and offered as a backgrounder that introduces development regulation concepts that the City of Vancouver has relied upon for many years. It is intended to stimulate a conversation towards new approaches to address affordability—including the delivery of non-market housing better tied to income—by changing existing zoning. For those who missed it, the five-part companion essay, “Zoning Must Evolve“, elaborated on the novella, including more on Vancouver’s planning history, and specific recommendations on how to change existing zoning to better serve “those left behind”.
