Environmental Design Research Association’s (EDRA)
Conference in Vancouver
The Environmental Design Research Association’s (EDRA) 36th
annual conference will be held in Vancouver, Canada in April 27-
May 1, 2005.
EDRA is the leading scholarly international,
interdisciplinary organization in environmental design
research.
The theme for EDRA conference in Vancouver is
“Design for Diversity.”
The theme is a celebration of diversity in age, race, gender,
class and ideology in the context of environmental planning and
design.
It invites presentations, discussions and debates on issues,
concerns, paradigms and challenges for the planning and design
of multicultural cities.
Vancouver is an ideal location for exploring such a theme.
This city offers a unique blend of a dynamic built environment,
a spectacular natural setting, and one of the most rapidly
changing populations in terms of ethnic and life-cycle
composition, offering both social and environmental diversity.
Canada’s immigration policy and its advocacy of a multicultural
society have resulted in a diverse mix of ethnic groups with
many recent immigrants, especially from the Pacific-Rim
countries.
The growth of the city has been marked both by distinct ethnic
enclaves and the particular topography of the area - mountains,
water bodies and an international boundary.
This is a city where nature and culture intermingle to create a
unique urban experience.
