The integration of wealthy Hong Kong immigrants into Vancouver sparked intense debates over planning, housing, and multiculturalism, challenging the city's liberal consensus. Their financial power allowed them to reshape urban space, intertwining global real estate dynamics with local issues. Katharyne Mitchell explores how these developments reveal the spatial dimensions of liberalism, emphasizing the importance of understanding its historical and geographical context in the face of neoliberal transitions. This examination highlights the complexities of urban transformation influenced by transnational migration.
