From the 1960s to the 1980s, one specific house was constructed in Vancouver over 10,000 times. Known today as the Vancouver Special, these houses could offer solutions to the current housing crises in cities across Canada.

‘Stories About Here’ explores the urban planning challenges that communities across Canada face today. In each episode we dig into the often overlooked issues in our own backyards - whether it’s the shortage of public bathrooms, sewage leaking into the water, or the bureaucratic roots of the housing crisis. Through it all, we hope to inspire people to become better informed and engaged members of their communities.
