Fieldtrip 1: False Creek Shoreline Boat Tour<\/span><\/h3>\n

Join Andy Yan<\/span><\/a><\/strong>,<\/span><\/span> SFU Urban Studies and City Program, and<\/span> Elvin Wyly<\/a><\/strong>,<\/span> UBC Geography for a tour of Vancouver from the waters of False Creek.\u00a0 Cities are material, physical concentrations of people, infrastructure, and capital.\u00a0 And yet cities are also metaphysical portals that<\/span>\u00a0allow and require unconventional ways of perceiving relations across space and time.\u00a0 The g<\/span>lobal city-region that has come to be known as Metro Vancouver is an especially unique portal revealing multidimensional reconfigurations of past\/present, colonial\/decolonial, and local\/global.\u00a0 Join us for a boat ride on False Creek, a small tidal inlet with a shoreline palimpsest of generations of economic, sociocultural, and socionatural evolution.\u00a0 We’ll bounce along on the gentle waves in view of the shiny towers of the ‘City of Glass,’ and share stories of buildings, landscap<\/span>es, histories, and futures in this endlessly fascinating corner of the world.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n
