註釋This volume documents the economic and socio-cultural transformation of Vancouver over the last decade, analyzing the city's distinctive growth trajectory. It describes how Vancouver has undergone a complex series of demographic, economic, and socio-cultural changes that have given the city a radically different profile as a gateway to the Pacific, a multi-cultural metropolis, a preferred destination for Asian immigrants, and an integral part of new regional entities such as the Cascadia ecological and economic zone. In addition to Vancouver's deepening engagement with Asia-Pacific markets and societies, the chapters examine the restructuring of the city's economy and labour force, the formation of new external linkages, the changes in class, community and metropolitan structures, and the patterns of urban reconstruction. The final chapter discusses the implications of the Vancouver experience for structural change and the post-industrial city/region.
