Richard Littlemore's new book, City Builders , tries to correct what the Maleks feel was an inaccurate narrative about the Olympic Village .

Littlemore says the city pushed the project into receivership in late 2010 , unfair to the Malek brothers.

The book tells the story of Peter and Shahram Malek ’s father, a successful businessman who ran a large construction company in Iran before the 1979 revolution forced the family to flee.

Meggs and Littlemore agree on one thing: The Olympic Village ended up turning a former industrial no man’s land into a vibrant community that has added to the fabric of Vancouver .

Littlemore worked as an editor and editorial writer for The Vancouver Sun in the 1980s and 1990s .

The Maleks declined to be interviewed.
