Vancouver's attention to pedestrians and interventionism is starkly in contrast with most American centers; still, the city's contribution to community development has garnered attention all around the world. They call our way of life "Vancouverism" in city planning circles. Approach an appropriate expert to explain the term and how its style differs from more conventional approaches. Surely, there must be drawbacks. Speak also with an economic expert who opposes government intervention.

Intrawest, owner of some Olympic venues, is in risk of defaulting on a $1.4 billion (US) loan, Bloomberg cited an unnamed source as saying.

Speak with a business analyst about the effect of a defaulted loan payment.

Artist Ken Lum recently created a public piece for the Eastside of Vancouver, a florescent lit cross spelling "East Van". Florescent lit signs used to line the streets of downtown Vancouver but were mostly taken down over the past couple of decades and remain in a light graveyard of the Neon past. The public, free of charge, can now see Lum’s art piece as it lights up the East Van district. There has always been a certain pull between East and West Vancouver from a social standpoint. Does this artwork reveal that East side’s more passionate about their section of the city then West-siders? Investigate this city dynamic and how pieces like Lum's create a discourse surrounding it.
