Alain Bertaud: Some thoughts on better urban planning for cities
In September 2023, Alain Bertaud visited Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to speak to students, planners, stakeholders and the general public about how to improve the situation, that includes extremely high house prices and homelessness.
This video has been made to summarize for the general public some of the recommendations he made. A group of citizens is coming together to advocate for changes in line with these ideas.
Alain Bertaud is the former Principal Urban Planner for the World Bank and author of the internationally acclaimed book "Order Without Design". He has spent more than 5 decades observing and advising cities around the world. He was in Vancouver as a guest of the Global C...

Beyond the Downtown Eastside: Ending Vancouver's Drug Addiction Overdose Crisis
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.10 месяцев назад
In 1973, the Vancouver general public was introduced to the name Downtown Eastside. This is when the City of Vancouver incorporated the Downtown Eastside Residents Association (DERA) to move staff on a Federal Government grant to an independent agency. At the same time, City Hall began closing down almost all of the SRO Rooming Houses in the single-family neighbourhoods. The first street homele...

    It's my understanding that the language was at one time spoken from California up to Alaska. That fact that the Chinook language is not something that's from BC makes things interesting. Isn't it an insult to speakers of actual native languages of BC to appropriate Chinook Jargon as British Columbian?

    • @Kumtuks
      @Kumtuks 24 дня назад

      Traditional languages developed before BC. Chinook Jargon is a contact language that developed through trade eventually to its recognizable form in the milieu of the Hudson's Bay Co. The governmental powers were transferred from HBC to BC and the territory of Columbia was divided into an American part and British part. Chinook Jargon was the language that was spoken by people from all language groups. It was owned by no group but belonged to everyone. "One version of it might even be called British Columbian".

      The part of the Fraser river that is not navigable, between Yale and Fort Alexandria is new. If that were older, it would be navigable, and there would have been time to erode the river bed. There was an outlet to the peace river just north east of Prince George. With the upheaval in the land and the melting of ice sheets, the Fraser river changed its direction south, and west to the Pacific Ocean.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 🚋 Vancouver's development was heavily influenced by the streetcar system. 💡 Robert Horne-Payne played a significant role in shaping Vancouver's transportation infrastructure. 🏙️ Streetcars expanded the city's radius, leading to the development of streetcar suburbs. 🏠 Housing preferences in the past favored single detached houses, influenced by status symbols and accessibility. 🛒 Neighborhood shopping streets often originated from successful streetcar lines, fostering local retail. ⚡ BC Electric's focus on technology and expert management influenced Vancouver's culture and infrastructure. 🚌 The introduction of gas-powered automobiles marked the beginning of the decline of streetcars. 🌱 Vancouver's growth was largely organic, driven by market forces with minimal government intervention.

    This is an interesting and accurate presentation, as far as it goes. What is conveniently omitted is discussion of the antagonistic nature of the relationship between BCER and the City of Vancouver, and the effect of that relationship on the growth of the city. This sour relationship dates back to 1890. BCER was seen as a money-grubbing monopoly, making lots of money off its electric, town gas and transportation businesses. The burdens imposed on the street railway company by the City were not unique to Vancouver, but did include payment of a substantial franchise fee (to the City) for the privilege of operating on City streets (something that did not end until the 1960's) as well as street maintenance requirements on the arterials where streetcars ran (which had a role in hastening the demise of the streetcar system). The antagonistic pressures mounted after World War II when council successfully influenced BCER to close streetcar lines and tear up its tracks, to the point where all lines were gone by 1955, despite BCER's initial plan to retain the Hastings East and Grandview lines using modern equipment. The "subsidy" you mention didn't come into being until much later than 1961: at first, the new BC Hydro & Power Authority cross-subsidized a money-losing transit service from its utility profits, something that persisted until the late 1970's. Even then, much of the civic portion of the "subsidy" came from new taxation sources granted by the Province of BC, including the regressive hydro account surcharge which continues to this day as the Regional Transit Levy. (This has nothing to do with the provision of hydro services to BC Hydro's customers; it is simply a final kick at the old utility company.) Unlike most of the rest of Canada, where municipalities stepped up to provide transit services as a municipal function, some as early as pre-World War I (Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal all had municipal or regional systems early), Vancouver had an undeserved free ride from the electric utility long after it should have ended. The institutional format we see today (Translink and its subsidiaries such as Coast Mountain Bus Company) are a direct result of Vancouver, and other municipalities, shirking their responsibility for the transit function for several decades after it became the norm for this to be a municipal function. Had the cities acquired this function at the right time, and been forced to fund improvements and operations from true municipal taxation sources, one wonders whether decisions would have been made differently, inlcuing the nearly-billion dollar decision to bury the Canada Line's run through South Vancouver. If all the players had brought real money to the table, I suspect this money would have been spent on something else, rather than saving a few "heritage" trees which I witnessed being planted as saplings as a youth. Trees are nice, but, really, a billion dollars? Other decisions which hinder the efficient and effective provision of transit services would likely be different if the system were a municipal department (e.g. the closure of Robson St beween Howe and Hornby which seriously disrupts bus service on Robson). We are lucky that the system was supported by BCER and BC Hydro as long as it was, (and that the public continued to use it) as enough of a viable system existed in the 1970's/1980's to be able to make a truly great transit system with among the highest overall ridership in North America.

    • @Kumtuks
      @Kumtuks 8 месяцев назад

      Thank you for this very excellent analysis and history. It is easy to criticize the company, but the citizens never supported the city taking it over. By having a private company run the transportation system decisions were a lot more prudent. When it was politicized, there was a dramatic expansion into areas did not have the density to support it. But the decisions were political, not financial.

    • @trainstramstrolleystravel7692
      @trainstramstrolleystravel7692 8 месяцев назад

      @@Kumtuks Not quite. There was huge latent demand for service in the municipalities that were beyond that traditional BCER service area that remained unserved by the metro system until the 1970's. Can you imagine the Tri-Cities (PoCo, PoMo and Coquitlam) or Surrey/Delta/White Rock with virtually no transit service? It was theorized that the implementation of a comprehensive network in these communities would see almost immediate acceptance, and this was the case in the areas mentioned. The FastBus concept was a deliberate precursor to rail transit which eventually manifested itself as Skytrain. I personally drew out the first sketch maps for the Tri-Cities services in my capacity as a planner at what was then the Bureau of Transit Services: amazing to think that the system went from sketch plans to full implementation in about half a year, something that could not be achieved today. Corporate prudence is all well and good, but it did not induce any service expansion when the math showed that even a full bus would run at a financial loss, but other social benefits would, (and have) flowed since those days in the mid-1970s when the first system expansion took place since the post-war modernizations which eliminated streetcars, but only expanded the service area by a relatively small area (principally the eastern area of the City of Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond).
