Plan for giant buildings in Chinatown comes under fire

The Vancouver Sun interviewed Henry Yu, a UBC history professor, for an article on a new city proposal to allow buildings up to 200 feet wide in Chinatown.

Yu has been involved with the Chinatown revitalization process and was surprised when he learned of the proposal for the buildings.

“It comes out of the blue,” said Yu. “In essence, this is the developer sort of formula of how many properties can you put together (for a highrise).”
