Abstract

Modern concrete sidewalks have existed for approximately a hundred and fifty years in urban centers. The city of Vancouver, British Columbia has date-stamped its concrete sidewalks when they are freshly laid for just over one hundred years. Almost 800 of these concrete sidewalk date-stamps from 1906 to 1992 were collected as points. Many studies regarding urban development and growth utilize historic atlases and maps with their changing road networks over time. This study uses GIS to map Vancouver's concrete sidewalk stamps dated from 1906 to 1992 and re-constructs its early original concrete sidewalks from 1901 to 1911 to establish the historic and spatial distribution of concrete sidewalks in the city. The use of concrete sidewalk date construction data offer another view of the development of Vancouver's urban built environment as compared to relying on the growth of street networks over time as shown in historic atlases and maps.
