I have been sent a collection of photos taken from a family’s home in Delta, BC documenting how their quality of life is being impacted by a major housing development being built right next door to them. To protect the family’s privacy, I will not be any more specific about the exact location.
This is just one example of a policy of densification being implemented across the country. BC has gone further down this road than any other part of Canada, with many municipalities and the provincial government itself seeking to impose significant density on neighbourhoods.
Neighbourhoods are being treated as blank spaces for developers to build projects on top of instead of what they are: established communities with their own distinctive character, natural environment, rhythm and texture of life, and populations of longstanding residents deeply rooted in the place they call home.
In looking through the following photos, I invite the reader to consider what this irrevocable transformation of established neighbourhoods will mean for current and future generations of Canadians if not halted.
The City of Delta did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
