The Tyee — Olympics Well Worth It: Harcourt
february 2010 by ger
"On Expo 86 as a defining moment for Vancouver:
'It was when we got noticed as a different kind of city. For 15 years or more we'd been redefining ourselves. The crunch point was saying no to a water-front freeway.
We had a whole view of what a city could be that was quite different from the elite North American and European planners who thought they knew best by equating freeways with urban renewal. We said you're wrong. We defied the disastrous idea of cars pouring into a nine-to-five downtown where people worked and fled to suburban homes. That whole idea screwed up most cities in North America."'"
