Our project focuses on reviewing low-income policies in other big cities. We will consider how these cities are different from or similar to Vancouver and how their low-income policies can be applied to Vancouver. When we review other cities’ policies, we will think about who is being left out and how a measure or policy can be designed to include them. Eventually, having researched best practices from other comparable and reputable cities on this matter, we will see how various “poverty lines” target different parts of the city geographically. We will also discuss which poverty assessment strategy would be most beneficial to the Parks and Recreation Department in its goal to increase access among low-income people.
