  • 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.

  • The Downtown Eastside Revitalization Program, Downtown Eastside
    The Downtown Eastside Revitalization Program, Downtown Eastside "Extraordinary" Policing, and Business Improvement Associations (BIA's): Why the People of the DTES Are Being Harassed and Brutalized It's the year 2000, RC's second largest industry is tourism and 1/3'~of the top 100 public companies fall into the realm of high technology, communications, real estate, entertainment, finance and investment (BC Business, March 2000). While tourism requires expanded entertainment, leisure and shopping opportuniues, attracting new company headquarters necessitates an expanded Central Business District with high-class offices, condos and fancy restaurants for business luncheons. Downtown Vancouver is no longer enough. New developments over the past several years have started at the edges of the Downtown Eastside (DTES) and now the City has plans to "revitalize" it's centre. This has caused much concern for DTES residents - they are being displaced from their homes, swept from the streets and increasingly, harassed and brutalized by police and private security guards. In a July 1998 memo to the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment, the General Manager of Community Services stated: Some.people worry that new condominiums in International Village, in Gastown and in City Gate, and the planned Trade and Convention Centre on the waterfront to the north will bring further development interest to the area. Although new investment can assist with the Downtown Eastside's rev~talization,some see it as conflicting with the neighbourhood's traditional role as a place for the less advantaged. This memo was one of a series that were bandied about in 1998 when the City Manager, Chief Constable of the WD, and the General Manager of Community Services asked City Council to endorse their funding applicauon to the National Crime Prevention P~ram,Sqh Cities Initiative, Crime Preve~tzonInvestment Fund.
