"Vancouver Then and Now" is actually quite an interesting visual history of the city's steady (and, often drastic) change over the past century. Canadian historian, Francis Mansbridge certainly went to a lot of time and effort to compile this book that represents a significant historical perspective on the continual development of the lower mainland. IMO - It is unfortunate that over these past 20+ years the natural beauty of the city of Vancouver (as well as Burnaby) has been steadily undermined by money-grubbing property developers.
