July 2022 - Vancouver Plan approved by City Council

On July 22, 2022, City Council approved the Vancouver Plan, which is a citywide land-use strategy that contains policies pertaining to transportation, community amenities, childcare, public spaces, food systems and more.

The Vancouver Plan contains the first comprehensive ecological framework, making Vancouver more climate resilient by restoring ecosystems and protecting green space and tree canopies. It corresponds with Vancouver’s future transit network and works toward the City’s climate target of having 90% of people living within an easy walk or roll to their jobs and daily activities.

The approved Vancouver Plan provides a way for the City to grow by allowing more housing options across all neighbourhoods, and builds towards complete neighbourhoods that will connect people to public spaces, shops, services, and transit.

A video is available that provides an overview of the Plan. Full details on the Vancouver Plan can be found on the project webpage.
