HUBBUB 18

HUBBUB is a celebration of co-creation and collaboration between City Staff, faculty and post-secondary students. Each showcase features creative and innovative solutions imagined by students for city building, and making Vancouver more sustainable, equitable and joyful.  This Spring, we have even more cause for celebrating as HUBBUB 18 marks 10 years of co-creating with the City of Vancouver. This semester, student projects address challenges relating to the multiple City of Vancouver strategic priorities including COVID-19 impacts on equity-seeking groups, placemaking with inclusion, carbon sequestration at the neighbourhood level, electrification of the Stanley Park train, and more.

After taking a look at the student projects, don’t forget to vote for your favourite project by clicking on the “Learn more…” button and then clicking on the “Write a review” button at the bottom of each project page to nominate a project for the People’s Choice Award!

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 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.

Julie Longo

Associate Vice President Academic
Langara College
“Ten years ago, I joined a group of academic leaders from 6 institutions who were animated by the idea of creating opportunities for post-secondary students to work directly with city staff on projects that could have a positive impact on the future of Vancouver. It has been so satisfying to watch CityStudio grow, influence others around the world, and provide truly meaningful and memorable learning experiences for countless students. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this success. Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of CityStudio!”

Doug Smith

Director of Sustainability
City of Vancouver
CityStudio Vancouver is near to my heart because the students continuously remind me why our work in sustainability is so important, why innovation fed by courage is critical and most importantly that hope is at the core of all we do. Thank you CityStudio Vancouver for continuing to inspire me, my peers and countless others.

Angela Danyluk

Sustainability Specialist
City of Vancouver
Many congratulations on 10 yrs to the change makers and wonderful people who make up CityStudio. I’m so honoured to collaborate with CityStudio and students across these lands. The promise of change-making, collaboration and curiosity about how we interact with the community, environment and each other keeps me coming back to CityStudio. Working with students to break down barriers, learn about the surrounding water and lands, and foster leadership is both inspirational and necessary action if we want to create a future where we all thrive.

HUBBUB 18 Wall of Awesome

Each semester CityStudio Vancouver brings together City of Vancouver staff with faculty from UBC, SFU, BCIT and Langara College. Without the collaborative efforts of the following individuals, we would not be able to 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 Spring 2022.
