In 2018, the Urbanarium held an open design competition to develop and present exciting options for addressing Metro Vancouver’s affordability and social health challenges, with outstanding design and social innovation. There were four study areas, one each in Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and Surrey. Applicants were assigned one of the study areas randomly. Each study area was around four blocks in size and competitors selected one or two single-family lots to design and provide some contextual assessment based on the study area and municipal plans and by-laws.
