False Creek a great example of urban redevelopment


It's hard to believe now, but False Creek in Vancouver was a polluted industrial wasteland just a few short decades ago. It's now one of the best examples of urban redevelopment anywhere. First, the land was temporarily redeveloped for the Expo 86 World's Fair and then redeveloped again as a residential and commercial district. The transformation is astounding. If you're ever in Vancouver, be sure to spend some time in the Yaletown area on the north side of False Creek.
