    Planning for the Housing Impacts of a Hallmark Event Is Fraught with Difficulties

    PLANNING FOR THE HOUSING IMPACTS OF A HALLMARK EVENT: A CASE STUDY OF EXPO 86 By KRISTOPHER N. OLDS B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1985 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES The School of Community and Regional Planning We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard The University of British Columbia April 1988 © Kristopher N.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

Department of Canrnurrity and Regional Planning The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada na. April 26, 1988 DE-6 (2/88) i i ABSTRACT This study proposes a strategy which will assist governments, the sponsors of hallmark events, and community groups to identify and plan for the negative housing impacts of such events. Hallmark events are major one-time or recurring : events of limited duration, developed primarily to enhance the awareness, appeal and profitability of a tourist destination in the short and/or long term. World's Fairs and Olympic Games are two examples of hallmark events. The 1986 World's Fair (Expo 86) in Vancouver provided an opportunity to document the impacts of this hallmark event on the residents of a community which borders the fair site and on the planning practices of the local government.
