These neighbourhoods have been created not only to delineate political boundaries, but to also portray unique identities that diversify the city\u2019s urban environment. Design guidelines are used to ensure that new developments correspond to the existing building pattern of a neighbourhood. These form-based codes are reflected on the emblematic facades of buildings that allow community members to distinguish their place in the city. The purpose behind the creation of this map was to select and map one character building that evokes an awareness and orientation to each of these neighbourhood areas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21578\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/vancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/06\/Cheng_map_1500.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21578 \" alt=\"Click to enlarge.\" src=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/vancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/06\/Cheng_map_150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click to enlarge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The buildings within this map were chosen based on the research of <a href=\"http:\/\/vancouver.ca\/home-property-development\/neighbourhood-planning-projects.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"><i>Community Vision Plan<\/i><\/a> documents, consultation of planning professionals, and personal perceptions of the author.
