  • Public Policy and Gentrification in the Grandview Woodland Neighbourhood of Vancouver, B.C
    Public Policy and Gentrification in the Grandview Woodland Neighbourhood of Vancouver, B.C. by Paul Kasman B.A., University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION in the School of Public Administration Paul Kasman, 2015 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Public Policy and Gentrification in the Grandview Woodland Neighbourhood of Vancouver, B.C. by Paul Kasman B.A., University of Western Ontario, 2007 Supervisory Committee Dr. Kimberly Speers, School of Public Administration Supervisor Dr. Lynne Siemens, School of Public Administration Co-Supervisor iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Kimberly Speers, School of Public Administration Supervisor Dr. Lynne Siemens, School of Public Administration Co-Supervisor The Grandview Woodland local area of Vancouver, British Columbia, is an area in transition. Retail, demographic, residential occupancy, and changes to built structures indicate that gentrification has escalated in the past seven years. Long standing impediments to gentrification, including industrial manufacturing, social housing, and crime, are not deterring change in this area to the extent they once did. This thesis examines how public policy has affected these changes in Grandview Woodland. Public policies embodied in laws and regulations have the capacity to either encourage or dissuade gentrification; however, other variables also influence gentrification making it difficult to determine the importance and influence of public policy in the process. This thesis uses semi-structured interviews and a document review in a case study of Grandview Woodland, to gain a better understanding of how public policies can influence gentrification in a local area where gentrification was previously impeded.
