Introduction

Richmond Night Market, Vancouver

Richmond, Vancouver’s neighboring city, is often regarded as North America’s rendition of Asia. Richmond is known as the "Gateway to the Pacific" and is the fourth-largest city in British Columbia. [1] Its social fabric is uniquely shaped by waves of Chinese immigration and other Asian migrant communities from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. [2]

As part of Metro Vancouver, Richmond reflects broader regional trends of migration, multiculturalism, and the creation of urban identity, making it an important site for understanding cultural belonging. This cultural presence is etched into the city's spatial organization, from the Mandarin signage at the Aberdeen Centre to the vibrant Richmond Night Market. For first-generation immigrants, these physical structures foster familiarity, continuity, and comfort, acting as spatial anchors for memories of Shanghai or Taipei. However, this sense of "home" is not universal. As the cultural meanings associated with these spaces are carried into younger generations, they become sites of identity negotiation, particularly as youth are exposed to broader multicultural influences in Vancouver.

Chapter Overview:

This chapter focuses on the fragmented identities of youth aged 18–25 living in Richmond, investigating how the same environment produces conflicting senses of belonging among second- and third-generation immigrants. Drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s spatial theory, we argue that identity is not simply produced by urban diversity, but is actively constructed through interactions with the city’s physical and social structures. [3] This reveals a central tension: while cities like Richmond can successfully accommodate belonging for first-generation immigrants, they can also produce fragmented identities for other generations. This further reflects how it is a wicked problem: supporting cultural belonging for one group can unintentionally create challenges for another. Thus, urban spaces cannot fully support all groups equally, and belonging continues to evolve as new waves of migrants arrive and older generations age.

Overview: History, Place, and Identity in Richmond

Richmond in Metro Vancouver

What is Richmond? Is it a suburb or a variant of Chinatown? With single-family houses stretching across planned grids and plazas and malls filled with multilingual signage, Richmond is more than what a "suburb" is supposed to be. The city sits at the intersection of history, place, and identity with layered waves of migration that connect Metro Vancouver to the Pacific world.

From Delta to "Ethnoburb"

To understand why Richmond has produced layered and conflicting identities, its history is critical to understanding its spatial form. Richmond was originally rooted in the fertile lands at the mouth of the Fraser River delta. [4] This allowed agriculture and fishing industries to thrive and structured the local economy. Stevenston, for example, became home for a Japanese fishing community, while Chinese labourers helped build the Canadian Pacific Railway, physically connecting Vancouver to Steveston and other peripheral spaces. [5]

Richmond did not fully emerge as an "Asian" city until the 20th century. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, political uncertainty surrounding the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China prompted migration to British Columbia. [6] As part of the British Commonwealth, Vancouver, and more specifically, its suburban municipality of Richmond, became the prime destination for middle- and upper-class families seeking stability. [6] Keep in mind that this is just one of many geopolitical events in East Asia that facilitated the trans-Pacific migration. This migration was not only a demographic shift, but a spatial one. Capital, culture, language, and people moved together and transformed the built environment into a "home far away from home" for Asian migrants.

Richmond thus evolved into what geographer Dr. Wei Li defines as an "ethnoburb." Unlike traditional 20th-century Chinatowns, such as the one in Vancouver's Downtown East Side (DTES), which were products of racial segregation and marginalization, the "ethnoburb" is highly planned and has a deliberate spatial concentration of an ethnic group. [7] Here, the ethnic groups are not marginalized. Rather, they are both socially and economically dominant. This is evident in the concentration of local businesses owned by ethnic Chinese residents.

Stakeholder Landscape

Richmond's Demographic [8]

Visual Presentation of Richmond Demographic

In the 1990s, immigration from Hong Kong grew significantly, followed by increased migration from China, the Philippines, India, and other Asian countries in subsequent decades[9]. As of 2021, 59% of Richmond’s population is composed of East Asians, and 46.2% of immigrants reside in the City Centre[10]. Additionally, 44.5% of Richmond residents reported Chinese as their mother tongue, while 31.3% reported English[11].

The streets of Richmond are often filled with signs and restaurants written and promoted in Chinese, reflecting a strong presence of Asian culture. This environment creates a setting where children grow up immersed in Asian cultural influences. Neighbourhood ethnic composition is significantly related to identity profiles[12], with areas that have a higher proportion of residents from different ethnic groups tending to have a greater proportion of individuals with a national identity profile.

Defining First-, Second-, and Third-Generation Immigrants

First-generation immigrants are individuals born outside of Canada. They are often divided into two identity profiles. First, ethnic profile, which immigrants are strongly tied to their homeland culture, and are more fluent in their native language[12]. They tend to show little involvement with local society and may cluster with others of similar backgrounds. However, they can also be classified into a diffuse profile, meaning they have low ethnic and national identity and experience uncertainty about their place in society.

Second-generation immigrants are individuals born in Canada with at least one foreign-born parent. Third-generation immigrants are individuals born in Canada with both parents also born in Canada[13]. Individuals from both generations are likely to be classified into different identity profiles. One is the integration profile[12], where individuals have high involvement in both their ethnic and national cultures. Another is a national identity profile, where peer networks are largely with members of the national group and there is low support for family obligations.

Youth as a Target

Youth is our key focus because adolescence is a period of identity formation, and experiences can differ even within the same place, such as Richmond. Second-generation Canadian youth who grow up in predominantly Asian neighborhoods are often familiar with both Canadian and Asian cultures. They may switch between cultural expectations at home and in public, creating a sense of being ‘in between’ while also developing adaptability across different settings.

In contrast, youth who have recently immigrated to Richmond may rely more on familiar cultural environments as they adjust. While this can ease the transition, they may feel less connected to broader Canadian society and face challenges adapting to new systems and norms.

A Generational Dissonance of Spatial Belonging

A Lefebvrian Analysis: The Production of Richmond's Space

The transition from a resource-based economy to an ethnoburb suggests that Richmond is not a static place, but a space that constantly changes and remakes itself. As Henri Lefebvre argues,

"social space is a social product." [3]

Social space is actively produced, shaped, and contested by the daily practices, migration patterns, and culture of its residents. In Richmond, this production is clearly visible. The global influx of trans-Pacific migrants and capital has transformed the landscape into one that is both familiar and culturally dense. However, this production is not seamless.

This chapter's central problem is the generational dissonance of belonging for youths aged 18 to 25. To examine how this environment produces different urban identities, it is valuable to apply Lefebvre's concept of the spatial triad from The Production of Space: the conceived, the perceived, and the lived. [3] This framework reveals that identity is not given. Instead, it is a product of the friction between these three elements:

Element Defintion and Richmond Context The Resulting Youth Tension
Concieved Space (Representations of Space) This is the space designed by Richmond's city planners, developers, and social engineers. It is where the city is envisioned through blueprints and reflect a transnational version of "Asian-ness." This manifests in neo-Chinese architecture and temples. Prescribed Identity: Youth may feel alienated by an environment engineered for a specific culture that doesn't mirror their hybrid, multicultural reality.
Percieved Space (Spatial Practice) This represents the material reality of daily life and routine. In Richmond, this is reinforced through daily practices like weekend dim sums in Aberdeen Centre, commutes on No. 3 Road or the Golden Village area, and nights out at K-Fever karaoke. The Bubble Effect: While this space provides comfort, safety and routine, it can create an enclosure that feels detached from the broad metropolitan fabric of Vancouver.
Lived Space (Representational Space) This space is directly lived and associated with subjective symbols and memory.[3] It differs for every individual. For example, a 20-year-old second-generation college student who commutes between the University of British Columbia and her family home in Richmond may experience the city through memories and cultural influences that exist beyond her parents' Chinese traditions. Emotional Disconnection: Youth inhabit a space shaped by their parents’ nostalgia (conceived), caught between a disconnect from Chinese culture and their own lived experiences in Vancouver.

Reframing the Problem

There are various lenses for interpreting the identity challenges in Richmond. These range from economic to political perspectives. An economic framing often describes affordability and class issues. It focuses on the economic landscape, including the types of businesses that appear, and the real estate market for single-family estates and apartment buildings. [6] On the other hand, a political lens centers on government policies on zoning, immigration, land development, and distribution, as well as the connectivity of Richmond to the rest of Vancouver and beyond through transportation like TransLink. Each of these lenses frames the issue differently. The perspective used in analysis directly shapes what solutions are possible.

This analysis focuses on spatial framing. Using Lefebvre’s spatial triad, it covers geographical, spatial, and personal interpretations of identity. Within this theoretical framework, the problem is redefined as a mismatch between three distinct elements. First, the conceived space represents the “Gateway to the Pacific,” designed by planners to reflect a specific version of “Asian-ness." [1] Second, the perceived space is the material “bubble” shaped by daily routines, such as weekends spent at the Richmond Night Market. Finally, the lived space is the subjective, symbolic realm where second- and third-generation individuals feel “at home” and “out of place” at the same time. Though this chapter centers on space, it does not ignore the lack of wealth or political factors. Rather, it emphasizes that the physical environment can enforce an identity that does not align with different generations’ already hybridized identities.

A Wicked Problem?

The generational identity crisis in Richmond can thus be considered a wicked problem. [14] There is no definitive formulation of the problem, because how it is framed, whether it is economic, political, or spatial, changes the nature of the issue and what solutions there are. There is also no stopping rule. Identity and belonging are problems that cannot be fully “solved,” as they evolve with shifting migration patterns and the aging of generations. Moreover, every problem is unique. Richmond’s identity is shaped by its demographic composition, trans-Pacific connections, and suburban landscape. This means that solutions need to be tailored and locally adapted to an area rather than generalized.

Guiding Questions

Moving from a theoretical analysis, the challenge is not to “fix” the problem, but to navigate it. This brings up important questions:
How might we create spaces that reflect both inherited cultural identity and hybrid identities?
How can we keep cultural familiarity while encouraging people of different generations to feel more connected?
How can we help young people feel like they belong in a way that lets them actively shape their identity instead of just inheriting it?

Hyphenated Identities in Richmond

Percentage of Population by Mother Tongue (2021 Census)

Richmond shows how urban space shapes identity in uneven ways across generations. It is often seen as a place of cultural comfort for East Asian communities, especially first-generation immigrants. At the same time, that same environment can create more fragmented experiences of belonging for second -and third-generation youth or young adults. This analysis focuses on individuals aged 18-25, as this is a crucial period of identity formation, but the differences observed are primarily shaped by generational position rather than age alone.

Generation, in the context of immigration, is closely tied to Richmond’s demographic structure. As of the 2021 Census, approximately 60.3% of Richmond’s population is born outside of Canada, compared to about 23% nationally, making it one of the most immigrant-dense municipalities of Canada. [15] In addition, over 80% of residents identify as a part of a visible minority group, with Chinese residents having the largest proportion. Language further reinforces this environment, with 44.5% of residents stating Chinese as their mother tongue, compared to 31% reporting English. [16] These patterns are not just demographic, there are also very much spatial. They shape their surroundings and the organization of everyday life. Commercial spaces, signage, and services are predominantly oriented towards East Asian communities.

Generational Experiences
First Generation For first-generation immigrants, this creates a highly accessible and familiar setting to live in. Language barriers are reduced, cultural practices are maintained, and socialising/networking becomes easier to form. Immigrant settlement patterns show that high concentrations of co-ethnic populations can strengthen community cohesion and support integration into those networks. [17] In this context, Richmond functions as a space where cultural identity is strengthened through everyday interactions, rather than challenged.
Second Generation For second-generation young adults, the relationship they have with Richmond is more complex and layered. Many individuals grow up balancing expectations from home with broader Canadian social environments. While Richmond provides strong access to cultural identity, its high cultural concentration can feel limiting in exposure to other social circumstances. Because of this prevalent experience, many individuals expressed feelings of “being in between cultures,” where they are not entirely rooted in either their national identity or their heritage. [18] This experience is echoed in broader research, suggesting that second-generation immigrants show that individuals often develop “bicultural” or “hyphenated” identities, where they continuously bounce between different cultural expectations. [19] Simultaneously, research also proves that environments with high cultural influence and concentration can form social systems in ways that reduce cross-cultural interactions, especially in earlier, formative years. In British Columbia, immigrants have also communicated lower levels of belonging in comparison to other provinces of Canada, insinuating that partial connection to the broader public is not unexpected. [20] These statistics propose that Richmond does not directly produce identity fragmentation, but creates a setting with conditions in which it’s more likely to occur.

Limitations of Urban Spaces

This highlights a greater limitation within urban spaces, where one space cannot fully support all identities at once. While Richmond provides stability and familiarity for some communities, it also produces tension amongst others. Identity is widely understood as something that is shaped by different generational experiences, there will never be a singular spatial arrangement that can equally accommodate all forms of belonging. Different stakeholders, whether that be first-generation immigrants, second-generation youth, and planners, all have different, yet competing priorities, where some interventions will benefit some groups, while it may birth new challenges for others.

Strengthening cultural spaces may support first generation immigrants, but preserve the same constraints for others. At the same time, increasing integration could weaken necessary and important cultural networks. Each approach introduces a trade-off, reinforcing that this matter cannot simply be resolved through one solution. Richmond's historical development further adds these dynamics, where its transformation into an ethnoburb is dated back to transnational and capital flows, particularly following migration from Hong Kong in the late 1990’s. [17] This created a highly concentrated cultural and economic framework that intensified the community web, while also deepening spatial clustering, restricting interaction to different social pools.

Beyond Richmond

San Gabriel Valley, California

Similar patterns are recognized and observed in places like Markham, Ontario, and San Gabriel Valley, California, where East Asian immigrant-dense populations build strong culturally specific environments. [21] In these areas, first-generation immigrants often succeed from familiarity, language accessibility, and established social relationships that reduce the need to adapt to dominant cultural norms. Second-generation residents in these places are more likely to experience identity as something negotiated across spaces, rather than fixed, as they move between culturally distinct settings such as home, school, and public life. Spatial concentration of culture does not preserve identity, but actively structures how it is experienced across generations. Richmond reflects a broader urban pattern, rather than an isolated case.

Arthur Laing Bridge

What Makes Richmond Unique?

Although Richmond follows a global pattern, its situation is unique due to its geographical features. Unlike the urban sprawl of Markham and the San Gabriel Valley, Richmond is an island bounded by the Fraser River. To leave Richmond or enter other parts of Vancouver, residents must cross the Arthur Laing Bridge or take the Canada Line. [22] This creates both a psychological and geographical barrier, where transit feels like crossing between different worlds. Furthermore, Vancouver is one of the closest cities to the Pacific Rim. This strategic location encourages faster influxes of capital and migration compared to California or Toronto. Moreover, Vancouver’s international airport is situated in Richmond. The high connectivity of Richmond speeds up changes in the built environment and sometimes outpaces the social identities living within it.

Lessons in Spatial Permeability

What Vancouver can learn from Markham and the San Gabriel Valley is increasing spatial permeability. In the San Gabriel Valley, planners have begun moving away from building only residential zones to include more public spaces, such as linking community parks, building bicycle and pedestration pathways and greenways. [23] This can help facilitate cross-generational interaction, while highlighting that permeability is not only found in transit but also the creation of shared spaces.

These case studies highlight that belonging is not just about who is included, but how space structures inclusion itself. In Richmond, identity shifts depending on context, shaped by how individuals move between different social and cultural expectations across spaces. Urban diversity should not be understood as a final outcome, but as an ongoing process shaped by spatial and social conditions.

Taking Urban Actions

From Private Comfort to Public Connection

Immigrants often have limited opportunities to interact with local residents beyond structured environments like school or work. One way to help immigrants improve a sense of belonging is to focus on small-scale community building at the neighbourhood level, where daily routines unfold and social connections can naturally develop. While home can be a space of comfort, many immigrants also experience feelings of isolation there [24]. Remaining within this private sphere may feel safe, but stepping outside can highlight a lack of connection, as they may not know others living nearby. This creates a need for accessible, close-to-home social networks, particularly for youth who benefit from immediate peer support.

By fostering neighbourhood-based activities, this approach can also help reduce the “bubble effect” among youth, where they remain within familiar cultural or social circles. Creating informal, welcoming spaces for interaction encourages them to gradually step outside their comfort zones and become more open to connecting with people from different backgrounds. In response, community-based initiatives, such as community Sports Day, Neighborhood Gardening, and shared meals like Italy’s Sagra [25], can create opportunities for interaction, helping residents build relationships and a stronger sense of belonging within their local environment.

Participation may be low in the initial stages, as residents might be hesitant to engage with unfamiliar neighbours. Additionally, bringing together diverse groups can sometimes lead to tensions or conflicts, including instances of misunderstanding or discrimination during events. These challenges highlight the need for careful facilitation and inclusive planning to ensure that such initiatives remain welcoming and constructive spaces for all participants.

Fostering Cultural Exchange

Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre

To address the disconnection from ethnic culture, formal educational programs and community centres could be established, particularly in Richmond where the growing Asian population has created an increasing demand for structured opportunities to learn language and culture. Although many second- and third-generation youth may already have some proficiency in their heritage language, often learned at home, their understanding is usually limited to everyday conversation. Deeper cultural knowledge, such as traditions, values, etiquette, and historical context, is less commonly taught but essential for meaningful cultural connection. Expanding access to community-based cultural education could therefore strengthen their sense of identity and belonging.

However, a key challenge lies in implementation at the municipal level, including whether such initiatives would receive approval from the City of Richmond and the time required for planning, funding, and development.

Lessons Learned

  • It is crucial to understand the lived, spatial experiences of different generational groups before proposing solutions. In Richmond, first-generation immigrants often experience strong cultural comfort and support through familiar environments, while second-generation youth navigate more complex, 'in-between' identities shaped by multiple cultural expectations. This highlights that belonging is not uniform, even within the same ethnic community, and is closely tied to how individuals interact with everyday spaces such as neighbourhoods, schools, and social environments. Recognizing these nuanced and sometimes conflicting experiences is essential, as it shifts the focus from assuming a single community need to acknowledging diverse forms of belonging that must be carefully considered in any urban intervention.
  • Richmond simultaneously functions as both a cultural comfort zone and a barrier to broader social integration, revealing a core tension in how the problem should be defined. While its high concentration of East Asian communities provides familiarity, language accessibility, and strong social networks for first-generation immigrants, this same spatial concentration can limit exposure to other cultures, particularly for second-generation youth. As seen in comparable ethnoburbs like Markham and the San Gabriel Valley [21], identity is not fixed but negotiated across different spaces, suggesting that the issue is not simply cultural preservation or integration alone, but the lack of spatial permeability between them. Richmond’s island geography and infrastructure further intensify this divide, creating both physical and psychological boundaries that reinforce separation. This reframes the problem from one of cultural difference to one of how space enables or restricts movement, interaction, and identity formation, emphasizing that improving belonging requires addressing the connections between spaces, not just the spaces themselves.
  • Moving through the five stages of Design Thinking: Empathizing with generational experiences, Defining the spatial dissonance through Lefebvre’s triad, Ideating on interventions, Prototyping this wiki draft, and Testing through peer feedback, it revealed that Richmond's identity crisis is inherently “wicked.” This process showed that a single solution approach is doomed to fail. Instead, urban planners should focus on creating permeable systems that encourage youth to actively navigate their own sense of belonging within Richmond’s evolving landscape.
  • A key question is how Vancouver can move beyond surface-level multiculturalism to create real social connections, rather than just having different cultures exist side by side, as David van Hemmen [26] suggests. While the proposed neighbourhood-scale solutions, such as community events and cultural programs, can help encourage interaction and reduce social barriers, they may not fully address deeper identity struggles among immigrant youth. It would also require structural changes, such as diversifying the demographics, but they may risk weakening existing cultural communities. Overall, this suggests that no single solution is sufficient, and that urban interventions should be understood as gradual and partial efforts to support belonging, rather than complete fixes.
