The Vancouver Plan is a long-term strategy to support growth to 2050 and beyond. It is Vancouver’s first unified city-wide plan to create a more livable, affordable and sustainable city.
The draft Plan proposes to:
- Identify where future growth and change will take place over the long-term
- Add more housing options to all areas of the city, including townhouse and multiplexes (also known as Missing Middle housing), and rental housing
- Build our neighbourhoods around people by making them more complete and connected, enabling more people to walk/roll for access to daily needs and amenities
- Make our city more climate resilient by restoring ecosystems and protecting our green space and tree canopy
- Support businesses of all sizes and protect industrial areas, creating more opportunities for new shops, services, and home based businesses throughout the city
- Advance Reconciliation with the Nations and urban Indigenous Peoples with continued consultation and collaboration in plan implementation
Our challenges:
-Housing Affordability
-Climate Emergency
-Economic Pressures
-Overdose crisis
-Neighbourhood Completeness
-Fiscal Responsibility
-High Risk for Earthquakes
-Safty and Belonging
