dc.description.abstractVancouver's Expo 86 was quite a party. It lasted for six months. Guests came from around the world; the final attendance figure of more than 20 million well exceeded that forecast. Visitors could explore pavilions and displays from nine provinces and territories, 54 countries, and major corporate exhibitors like General Motors (GM) and Canadian Pacific (CP). They could also amuse themselves on the many midway rides or dine at one of numerous fast food establishments, including a floating restaurant on False Creek nicknamed the "McBarge. When the decorations and the temporary pavilions came down, however, something very valuable remained -- over 200 acres of prime waterfront land. Now called Pacific Place, this tract of land is touted as one of the largest urban renewal projects in North America. The high-rise residential and commercial development under way here will greatly affect Vancouver's city form.
