“Vancouverism” is the city's urban planning design philosophy characterized by high-rise residential and mixed-use developments. The Greater Vancouver area builds on a combination of architectural styles, ranging from 20th-century Edwardian to American Craftsman, to 21st-century modernist "West Coast style." Widespread inventive designs using complex geometric forms, favoring open-plan layouts, and maximizing natural light through use of glass, have granted the city its monikers "City of Glass" and "See Through City."
