Its light-filled watercolours and well-informed prose spoke to the concerns of rapid expansion versus historical conservation, and it won the accolades of the City of Vancouver book award and the Duthie prize for BC book publishing. \u003cbr\u003eNow, on the 20th anniversary of that important book, Kluckner returns to tell the story of the last two and a half decades in this ever-developing city. \u003ci\u003eVanishing Vancouver: The Last 25 Years \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the origins of our landmark buildings and public spaces, our working harbour, our shops, houses, apartments, urban farms, and gardens, and bears witness to the recent dramatic changes that have taken place in them. Many of these changes are the result of city planning policy--initiatives that aim for \"eco-density\" and being \"the greenest city\"--and throughout the book Kluckner discusses the tensions that have arisen as a result and asks whether the price we are paying is too high. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVanishing Vancouver: The Last 25 Years \u003c\/i\u003eis a compelling mix of historical narrative, personal anecdote, and expert, local knowledge. Illustrated with more than 200 new images--the author's own watercolours and brush-and-ink drawings as well as archival and private photographs, handrendered maps, vintage postcards, advertisements, and other ephemera--this beautiful volume is essential and enjoyable reading for anyone interested in Vancouver's heritage, architecture, and history. Its focus on Vancouver's architecture and current issues make it the perfect complement to Kluckner's \u003ci\u003eVancouver Remembered\u003c\/i\u003e, a complete history of the city. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Kluckner is an artist and writer who has spent more than two decades recording and interpreting, in a dozen books, the histories and landscapes of Vancouver, British Columbia, and Canada.
