    NewsArchitecture & DesignDevelopmentUrbanizedAs Vancouver’s skyline continues to evolve, the issue of building shadowing has become a significant consideration in urban planning. While discussions often focus on aesthetics, urban design objectives, and public health, there’s a growing tension between urban planning principles, mantras, and even ideologies — specifically  building shadowing restrictions and the city’s urgent need to address growth and housing shortages.
