The exciting next stage of the City Poems Project is the development during 2023-2025 of a geolocative app by the team at CEDaR Space (Community Engaged Documentation and Research) at UBC’s Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies, overseen by Professors David Gaertner and Daisy Rosenblum with CEDaR Lab Supervisor Dante Cerron, and CEDaR Coordinator Sara MacLellan, with design and development support from students and faculty in the Centre for Digital Media.

Once the project is completed in 2025, members of the public will be able to find and listen to audio-recordings of selected poems from the City Poems Contest related to Vancouver sites using their cell phones. In the meantime, learn more about how the app will work here in this short introductory video:
