Inge’s research is focused on sustainable forms of urban habitation and their relationship with evolving social and cultural forces. This expertise has led to her involvement with several organizations in Vancouver and Chinatown specifically, including the Garden, Heritage Vancouver, and the Vancouver Women’s Health Collective. She has led community outreach design studios in partnership with the City of Vancouver’s Chinatown Revitalization Program to explore the possibilities of transforming the historic district into a contemporary neighbourhood.
