BOSTON—Speaking about his time at the recent Vatican conference on climate change and poverty, Mayor Marty Walsh noted one city in particular he's looking to emulate: "'I think Vancouver is a city we have some parallels with,' Walsh said. 'I was talking to the mayor of Vancouver, and really, his is a growing city like ours, he has high-tech industry coming there, a struggle with housing, moderate, low-income housing, so we talked about those issues.'"
