From Urban Enclave to Ethnic Suburb
From Urban Enclave to Ethnic Suburb focuses on the migration, settlement, and adaptation of Chinese and other Asian immigrants and their impacts on the transformation of metropolitan areas in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. These stories of the interactivity of Asian "people and place" in four nation-states are framed within the larger context of spatial and social patterns, migration, acculturation/assimilation, and racial…
Culture-led Regeneration in the Post-industrial Built Environment
A nuanced discourse on the mix of factors shaping the urban cultural economy includes investigations of the saliency of the built environment, and particularly the positionality of heritage buildings, in culture-led urban regeneration programmes. To this enterprise, this paper contributes an assessment of cultural regeneration in Victory Square, an historically rich and socially-contested site at the intersection of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside …
Cities and the Cultural Economy
The cultural economy forms a leading trajectory of urban development, and has emerged as a key facet of globalizing cities. Cultural industries include new media, digital arts, music and film, and the design industries and professions, as well as allied consumption and spectacle in the city. The cultural economy now represents the third-largest sector in many metropolitan cities of the West including London, Berlin, New York, San Francisco, and M…
Trouble in paradise
Resilience is an increasingly important concept within urban studies, economic geography, and evolutionary economics for measuring the capacity of city-regions to respond to economic shocks. In this article, we provide a sympathetic critique of the resilience metaphor in urban studies, which we explicate through an analysis of the recent history of the Vancouver economy. On the surface, Vancouver seemingly showed resilience when it overcame the a…

The Inner City as Site of Cultural Production sui generis
The creative sector within the inner city constitutes a defining spatial imprint of the cultural economy of the metropolis, and a motive force in the reconstruction of the urban core. The centerpieces of the cultural economy include galleries, museums, theatres, markets, exhibition spaces, and schools of art and design. But amid these institutions thrives a specialized production economy, including computer graphics and imaging, Internet design, …
Situating the New Economy
The purpose of this paper is to make an argument about the importance of geographical context and contingency in the emergence of the new economy within the inner city. Using a case study of Vancouver, it is suggested, first, that its new economy has emerged precisely out of the peculiar trajectory of the city and is bound up with a staples economy, branch plant corporate offices, transnationalism, and mega-project orientation. Secondly, to illus…
Trajectories of the New Economy
Contours of the Post-Staples State
In this essay I will be advancing an argument that the national development trajectory is in transition from a “mature staples” phase to a “post-staples” era, signifying not only a new phase of industrial restructuring, but also profound shifts in social development and the structures and operations of the state. This emergent development trajectory is shaped by a mélange of influences which includes new rounds of industrial restructuring, the re…
Spatiality, Built Form, and Creative Industry Development in the Inner City
Theoretical treatments of new industry formation within the inner city emphasise the significance of agglomeration economies, social relations, institutional factors, and representational (semiotic) features of the landscape. The author contributes to a larger understanding of generative processes of industrial innovation in the urban core by demonstrating through theoretical synthesis and case studies, the critical roles played by 'material' (or…
The New Economy of the inner city
Post-industrialism, Post-modernism and the Reproduction of Vancouver's Central Area
Planning and local policies, informed recurrently by theories of transformative urban development, have represented influential (and at times decisive) agencies of change in Vancouver's metropolitan core. A commitment to principles of post-industrialism in the 1970s, realised through the conversion of False Creek South from an obsolescent industrial site to a medium-density, mixed-income residential landscape, effectively broke the mould of the m…
Service industries, globalization, and urban restructuring within the Asia-Pacific
Reconstructed Production Landscapes in the Postmodern City
Applied design and creative services are central to the formation of metropolitan landscapes and urban culture (both in historical and contemporary contexts), as well as to the production of the full range of industrial and consumer goods. More specifically, applied design firms are essential to the development of advanced industrial systems, and facilitate the operation of flexible production regimes by (1) enabling production differentiation in…
Producer services in the Asia Pacific region
Vancouver
Marketing Vancouver's Services to the Asia Pacific
Over the last two decades the metropolitan Vancouver economy has evolved from its traditional role as a provincial higher‐order service centre to a place in a network of increasingly interdependent cities of the Pacific Rim. Exports of producer services from the metropolitan region to destinations in the Asia Pacific are supported by a number of government initiatives and are expanding. Results of a survey undertaken by the authors of 251 produce…
Vancouver's Corporate Complex and Producer Services Sector
LEY D. and HUTTON T (1987) Vancouver's corporate complex and producer services sector: linkages and divergence within a provincial staple economy, Reg. Studies 21, 413–424. The paper considers the place of advanced services in contributing to uneven development between a metropolitan core and a regional hinterland in a provincial staple economy—British Columbia, Canada. While there is a close correlation between changes in provincial gross domest…

Toward an Evaluative Framework for Land Use Policy in Industrial Districts of the Urban Core
This paper provides a preliminary analysis of costs and benefits associated with exclusionary zoning, a policy vehicle which seeks to preserve or promote industry in the urban core especially (where competition for land resources is typically the greatest), by prohibiting the incursion or encroachment of 'higher uses.' The paper examines arguments commonly advanced pertaining both to alleged 'costs' of exclusionary zoning (e.g., relating to effic…
