Benefits

Greenest City 2020

The Viva Vancouver program supports several of the walking and public realm strategies that are a part of the Greenest City Action Plan.

Livable Communities

Community connections are strengthened with more public spaces where people can enjoy the experience of the street with others and take part in cultural displays of art, dance and music, and meet new people.

Active Neighbourhoods

Transforming roads into public spaces creates more room for people to be active in their neighbourhood, and use active forms of transportation including walking, biking and rollerblading.

Local Businesses

Animating streets in innovative ways creates a sense of excitement that draws people to VIVA Vancouver neighbourhoods to see what’s new and explore nearby shops along the street.
