Planning for the Future

What will Vancouver be like in the future? No one can predict what lies ahead for our city but one thing is certain – it will change. To help Vancouver deal with this change and growth, City Council adopted CityPlan in 1995 as the city’s official plan for the future. CityPlan was developed with input from thousands of residents. It will be used to guide City decisions on spending and development over the next 20 years on a range of topics including: the downtown and neighbourhoods, the environment and the economy, community services and safety, financial accountability and public involvement.

In addition to CityPlan, there are many other official City policies which will help shape the future, such as the Transportation Plan, Community Visions, Housing and Childcare. For more information, visit the City’s website at www.vancouver.ca.
