Description

Vancouver's streetscapes have changed drastically in recent years.
New buildings representing current architectural trends are mixing with
and often replacing those of earlier eras and tastes. Exploring
Vancouver invites the reader to experience the city's
continually evolving landscape in a readable, yet authoritative, guide.

Reviews
