Deep Dive
Rain City Infrastructure: Metro Vancouver from Above
Main focus
Rain City Infrastructure follows Metro Vancouver’s changing built environment through aerial construction updates. SkyTrain expansions, transit stations, bridges, roads, high-rises, demolition, redevelopment, and urban growth all form part of its visual record.
Why it matters
Tracking a major local project over time is easier when progress can be seen from above. Rain City Infrastructure gives residents, transit followers, and urban-change watchers a clear way to follow construction across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, the Tri-Cities, and nearby communities.
Style
Drone flyovers place worksites and surrounding neighbourhoods in a wider geographic frame, making the scale and location of change easy to grasp. The approach is observational and progress-led, with aerial views carrying the narrative.
Consistency
A 144-video archive builds a continuing visual record across multiple Metro Vancouver communities and project types, with recurring construction progress as its central thread.
- SkyTrain expansions
- Transit station construction
- Bridges and road projects
- High-rise development
- Demolition and redevelopment
- Metro Vancouver urban growth
Editorial note
Aerial updates are useful for tracking visible change, but consult official project authorities for current schedules, detours, public impacts, budgets, and operational details.
