Divisions and Disparities in Lotus Land: The Social Geography of Income Polarization in Metro Vancouver
5:00pm - 6:00pm
UBC geographer Nicholas Lynch is co-author of a recent study, Divisions and Disparities in Lotus Land: Socio-Spatial Income Polarization in
Greater Vancouver, 1970-2005. The research presents worrisome trends, with an increasingly divided Vancouver and a disappearing middle class. We discuss the social geography of polarization across the region, the implications, and possible policy solutions.
