註釋"Lance Berelowitz offers a passionate exploration of the links between Vancouver's dramatic setting of ocean and mountains, its history of speculative development and its emerging culture of planning and design. He also makes the startling case that Vancouver is to the Canadian imagination what Los Angeles is to the American - a mythologized place of endless possibilities that is grounded in altogether more limited social and environmental realities. His provocative prose digs below the surface of observations made by local boosters and awestruck visitors alike: it is writing as a form of urban archeology." "Dream City is illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs of many significant buildings and public spaces, and specially commissioned maps that reveal the underlying patterns of growth of Canada's youngest metropolis."--BOOK JACKET.
