Can we change the World? Where do we start? What can we accomplish? What is Urbanarium? And what does it have to do with Vancouver? These are some of the questions proposed here and a small collection of data to support it? Where it goes....we will find out...won't we....
So there's alot of info below but here is a very important video that I think you should watch. I was really excited about this when it started a couple a years ago. People tried really hard but I think it's energy has fizzled unfortunately. The idea was to change the world in 4 years. http://www.fouryearsgo.org/
So this is a great idea, sort of based on the principle in Pay It Forward, that if we motivated ourselves and did our part...WE COULD CHANGE THE WORLD!!
What is Urbanarium?
http://mastersplanning.blogspot.ca/2012/10/an-idea-urbanarium.html
"An urbanarium is an idea that Ray Spaxman and a group of private planners and architects conceived in the early 1980's that was unfortunately never followed through. The idea was to build a scale model of downtown Vancouver, including False Creek and extending to the East False Creek Area. When a development is proposed, the applicant would be required to replace the existing scale buildings on the model with the new proposal so everyone could see the context."

The city's planning department, under the direction of Ray Spaxman in the 1980s, began to expand on the concepts, many of which were brought into fruition with the development of the former Expo 86 lands along False Creek and Yaletown.
