A large fluid population signifies the mobile nature of contemporary metropolises. The way a city accommodates them tells how it is interacting with the world. Seventy-eight traveler accommodations around downtown Vancouver are examined in this mapping project, leading to a series of maps, featuring location, size, rates, pet admission, smoking tolerance and gay favor. Each map catches a glimpse of economic, environmental, or cultural dimension of these transient lodgings, and a relation between the city and its fluid population. The comparisons between these maps further reveal the spatiotemporal distribution of the multiple valences of the city’s transient habitation.
