On Site Report is a podcast about the globalization of cities. In this series we focus on the city of Vancouver and its recent transition from a mid-sized port city to a global metropolis. This civic metamorphosis has resulted in many changes throughout the city, and these changes can be richly understood through an examination of the city's built environment. On-site Report takes place in studio and on location, guiding listeners through a collection of unique sites that tell us something important about the nature of the contemporary urban experience. Hosted by Theo Abbott & Phoebe Turner.
