The District of North Vancouver is a part of the larger metropolitan area of Greater Vancouver in the Southwestern corner of British Columbia.  As with many cities in North America, it is experiencing a steady growth in population.  As it is located between the slopes of the North Shore mountains and the Pacific coastline, the need for increased urban densification is apparent.  This project is an attempt to locate possible sites for denser housing stock without compromising the integrety of the environment and the lifestyles enjoyed by so many people on the "North Shore".
