In this documentary short, Vancouver architect Stanley King demonstrates his method for involving the public in urban design. Called the "draw-in/design-in”, the method is applied to a downtown Vancouver area slated for redevelopment. How can it be made to best serve the needs of the people who will use it? Here, sketches prepared by students and refined by adults are used to guide city planners.

    I was born in 1981 and have lived south of Vancouver my whole life. I never knew that the site of the superior courthouse was previously a parking lot.
