Vancouver is about people, culture, and community.
I’m running for a city where everyone belongs, not just those who can afford it.
This is about housing, dignity and a the right to the city.
What would a city that works for you look like?

Displace is shaped by ideas from the #RightToTheCity - a concept from Henri Lefebvre.
He warned against the “reduction of the city to a dormitory”: a place to sleep, not live.
The #RightToTheCity means ordinary folks shaping the spaces they inhabit - not investors abusing them as playgrounds.

🎃Halloween turns our streets into shared spaces. For one night, neighbours meet, doors open, and fear gives way to connection.

The “city as #commons” is friendly to all citizens, not only to those who choose to use cars, or can afford to do so. As Enrique Peñalosa has famously put it, “a citizen on a $30 bicycle(, or $3 flip-flops) is equally important as a citizen on a $30,000 car.” All citizens have the #RightToTheCity.

Towards the end of his life, #WarrenMagnusson implored us to imagine radical democratic engagement “premised on the ‘open city’ rather than the closed nation”. Would that we'd heed that profoundly wise insight. #UrbanFutures #CitiesForPeople #RightToTheCity

“Our history is not for sale.”
From Cable Street to cultural clearance, Brick Lane has always fought back. Brick Lane is now a Battleground.
“Heritage is not a marketing device. It is memory. It is meaning.”

🎶 “For our Gardens make us strong!” — Elizabeth Frickey
Community gardens as living soundscapes: joy, protest, music, birdsong.
Gardens that refuse silence — because a silent garden is a threatened one.

Few years ago I wrote my master thesis on Barcelona #superblock and the #RightToTheCity. So it's been very interesting listening to this critical retrospect of eight years of #municipalist transformation.
🧵4/Public spaces that could offer relief are often privatized, policed, or overcrowded by tourism.
