Today, the Spacing family would like to welcome our newest sibling: Spacing Vancouver!

The editors and contributors of Spacing Vancouver will take a critical look at how Canada’s third largest urban region is building and designing its city. Cities across Canada have a lot to learn about how Vancouver is designing one of the most livable and beautiful cities in North America.

Spacing is lucky to not be starting this Vancouver blog from scratch — we’ve absorbed the wonderful team at re:place magazine. To see why Spacing and re:place teamed up you can read the joint letter from Spacing’s publisher Matthew Blackett and re:place’s editor (and now the Spacing Vancouver editor) Erick Villagomez.

The editors of Spacing couldn’t be more excited to add Vancouver to our Canadian urban blog network — we now stretch from coast-to-coast!

If you are around tonight, there is a panel discussion and party to celebrate the launch of our newest blog at the Wosk Centre for Dialog in downtown Vancouver. See you there (and each and every day here at this blog!).

  1. Hurray! This is great news. Can’t wait to hear more. Great job on CBC Radio One this morning. Funny how Pigeon Park is seen as its past self by the CBC and its future-self by Spacing.

  2. Congratulations on the new site!

    One nit: In the sidebar on other sites that list recent headlines, the URL for the Vancouver site uses “.cs”, not “.ca” and therefore does not work in the main heading and the “more” link.

  3. Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the comment! We have yet to work out a few issues (that will most likely be ongoing for the next few weeks) and we’ll also be make some more cool transformations to the site within the next three weeks that connect the whole Spacing network more intimately. Keep coming back…exciting times!

    Thanks again,

    E

  4. Thanks Kemp! We’re excited about the whole undertaking as well!

    That’s a great and funny insight about CBC vs. Spacing. 🙂

  5. Congrats ! Now we just need a West coast paper version of Spacing magazine.

  7. Congrats on the Vancouver launch, and fantastic meeting you all last night! Looking forward to many more interesting conversations about all things urban, either virtually or in real life.

  8. Congratulations! (And, obviously, the next logical expansion is Victoria…)

  9. Congratulations indeed, and I’m quite looking forward to reading along in the days to come! (Though I’m decidedly disappointed in the decision to go with grey as the accent colour, particularly after the tease of green used on the coming soon page… *shakes fist at Spacing Radio*)

  10. Happy to see Spacing Vancouver up and running.. congrats!
