Course Collaborations
Students participating in Term-Long or Course Collaborations work as individuals or teams on a hands-on, applied project over the course of a term. These collaborations usually take place with third and fourth year students. Some projects are more complex and may require a multi-disciplinary, multi-year exploration, or might benefit from in depth research. CityStudio Research Collaborations usually involve graduate students or those in directed studies.

Engagement Collaborations
New to our showcase is our Engagement Collaborations – an innovative type of collaboration at CityStudio Vancouver. These projects come together with a lighter touch approach, meaning we have the opportunity to engage with more, sometimes more than a hundred students, for a project that invites students to reflect on and understand experiential learning from the first two years of their post-secondary education.
Our Expert Judges
Every HUBBUB we welcome three expert judges (one City staff + one faculty + one CityStudio alum) to explore the showcase and select 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place projects to be celebrated at the end of the showcase. This semester we are proud and grateful to have the following judges

Our Champions
At CityStudio Vancouver, no one exemplifies the work we aim to do more than our champions. We truly admire these folks for their commitment to change in the City and to mentoring students. In this anniversary edition, we’re celebrating three Champions who have championed CityStudio Vancouver through the years since its inception, saying YES. These individuals are not only committed to collaborative city-building and community-engaged learning but have provided us with invaluable insights and feedback, dedicating countless hours, and imagining new possibilities to expand our collective impact. These Champions have been an integral part of helping to make Vancouver more sustainable, equitable, and joyful.

“Thank you CityStudio for all that you do! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the collaborations with university faculty and students over the years, and our work has greatly benefitted from them.”

“I’ve been so grateful for the time City partners’ have contributed – having their expertise in the classroom has inspired students to put in their top effort toward creating solutions. CityStudio has opened their eyes around the linkages between health, urban planning, and transportation, and provided an opportunity for them to see how their public health lens brings insights to city-building challenges.”

“Working with CityStudio has provided me, and the VCPC, with fresh innovative thinking on complex issues that we wouldn’t otherwise have the time to explore.”
HUBBUB 17 Wall of Awesome
Each semester CityStudio Vancouver brings together City of Vancouver staff with faculty from the local post-secondary schools. Without the collaborative efforts of the following individuals, we couldn’t get students into City Hall to shake things up. Thank you for all your openness and innovative work! Below you’ll find the City Staff and Faculty Champions from Fall 2021.
