Placemaking Vancouver Canada Case Studies | |
| The Vancouver Peacemaking Project reimagines industrial lands as inclusive and dynamic Third Places, fostering connections among workers, businesses, and the broader community. Through a "research through urban design" approach, the project highlights the often-overlooked routines of industrial workers and explores design interventions that support their well-being and sociability. A key focus is the Commissary Connect food business incubator, which leverages shared resources and networking to create a thriving food ecosystem. By repurposing underutilized spaces at Commissary Gourmet, the project envisions a coworking and event hub that nurtures collaboration, food security, and economic growth, all while acknowledging and integrating the cultural and historical significance of the land. | ||
