Modernism and Development of Yaletown
In the post- war history of Vancouver, it is the Yale town development history. The symbolized high rise buildings are just like Vancouver’s modernism elements. The stories happen in the concrete forest, as Vancouver local fiction runner in the dark and JPod represent modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement in the arts, its set of cultural tendencies and associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In particular the development of modern industrial societies and the rapid growth of cities, just like Vancouver Yale town.
Yale town is an
area of Downtown Vancouver approximately bordered by False Creek, Robson, and
Homer Streets. Formerly a heavy industrial area dominated by warehouses and
rail yards, since the Expo 86, it has been transformed into one of the most
densely populated neighborhoods in the city. The marinas, parks, high rise
apartment blocks, and converted heritage buildings constitute one of the most
significant urban regeneration projects in North America. Yaletown encompasses
the established neighborhood of Yaletown and the still developing area of
Southeast False Creek (better known as the Athlete's Village from the 2010
Winter Olympics). Reclaimed industrial areas, both neighborhoods are a mix of
modern condo architecture and restored industrial warehouses. Yaletown, in
particular, is considered the yuppie side of Vancouver. For sports lovers,
Vancouver's two main sports arenas/stadiums are also located here.
