I was reading an article by 'Trvor Boddy' "INSIGHT: Vancouverism vs. Lower Manhatttanism: shaping the High Density City" in it Trevor mentioned that Vancouver and Lower Manhattan have ideas that might well migrate elsewhere. I was wondering is it a good or bad thing for other cities to follow what Vancouver/Manhattan is about, in regards with densification?
But in case of Vancouver having to be used as a model city - Vancouver is responsible to find new ways and solutions to things. No wonder the city has a competition http://www.poto.ca/ where the podium typology used in Vancouver is being questioned. What effects would it have on long run?
In a way cities seems to be more watchful since they are questioning that how long a solution can last and when a new solutions is needed. Just thinking about this concept of new solutions and old solution, I find this phenomenon very interesting, as to the solutions are also in flux. With the changing times every things changes.
