By virtue of the fact that the static image layered a higher  density of information, many patterns were made more explicitly visible.<\/p>\n<p>However, the latter came at the cost of eliminating any changes over  space and time. Something which is equally as fascinating, to my mind,  as the original map.\u00a0 Although I tested out a number of graphic options  that tried to layer all the data <em>while<\/em> showing temporal\/spatial  changes in one static image, I didn\u2019t find a cartographic solution that  showed the information well.\u00a0 So, I decided instead to create <a rel=\"lightbox[10069]\" href=\"http:\/\/regardingplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/metro_immigration_graphic_animation.gif\" target=\"_blank\">this animated version<\/a> of the incoming immigration population. For reasons of consistency,  I\u2019ve kept the same graphic language and elements of the static map,  adding a temporal aspect to their inclusion. For example, dense clusters  and infrastructure is labeled based on the time of their appearance.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Upon watching the series in order, a number of new patterns become  clear.\u00a0 In terms of transit, the time taken for the areas around the  Expo line to mature as immigrant enclaves is quite telling.\u00a0 Built for  the 1986 Expo, the gradual build-up of immigrants along the line is  explicit &#8211; finding a very full (visual) expression by 2001. On the very  simplistic assumption that immigration patterns are related to broader  urban growth patterns and that this these can and do hold true in over  time, we can perhaps infer that &#8211; all things being equal &#8211; the Millenium  and Canada Lines require approx. 15 years from their date of  construction to really develop as a strong transportation framework  intimately connected to the surrounding neighborhoods, thankfully now people can get a <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kateraynor.com\/en\/work-based-visas\/O2-Visa.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\">O2 Visa<\/span><\/a> and get rid of their immigration issues.<\/p>\n<p>The transit story, however, isn\u2019t really the only one inherent to the  animation. Even more evident is the radial trajectory of the  distribution as immigrant populations over time &#8211; expanding outward from  Vancouver proper to the surrounding cities. What is governing this  movement is well beyond the scope of this article given how many complex  factors are associated with growth patterns.\u00a0 However, the similarities  between this pattern and that of children in Vancouver is worth  pondering. That immigrant populations have larger households &#8211; with  children &#8211; in comparison to the local populations (that tend to have few  kids, if any) has been well documented.As such, it follows that a  strong relationship must occur between the two sets of information, and  sure enough, it does with both depicting an expansion out of Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>In the writing the series on the distribution of children, I brought  forth the argument that this pattern is largely due to high housing  costs and an increasingly limited choice of house types that can  accommodate families with children within the City of Vancouver. By  extension, I believe that the same forces are at work here, as the  cities around Vancouver provided housing that does accommodate this  population at an affordable price\u2026..and with good connections to  transit. To be clear, these are definitely not the only variables, but  surly, they are important ones and point to important urban planning  tenets.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>You can read the original piece looking a incoming immigration populations in Metro Vancouver <a href=\"http:\/\/regardingplace.com\/?p=10069&amp;preview=true\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.\u00a0 You can also, read the series on the spatial distribution of children in Metro Vancouver <a href=\"http:\/\/regardingplace.com\/?p=5600\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in the last piece on the distribution of immigrant populations throughout Metro Vancouver, analysing the Census 2006 information statically &#8211; with the data for 1981, 1991, 2001, and 2006 integrated into a single map &#8211; shows a different picture of looking at the same information in sequential order.
