The Greenest City Action Plan is a strategy for staying on the leading edge of urban sustainability.
We are working with Council, residents, businesses, other organizations, and all levels of government to implement this plan.
Planning Vancouver Together to 2050 and beyond
We’ve launched the process to develop the Vancouver (City-wide) Plan that will guide our city to 2050 and beyond.
Our vision
Our vision is to create opportunities today, while building:
- A strong local economy
- Vibrant and inclusive neighbourhoods
- Internationally recognized city that meets the needs of generations to come
Through a set of measurable and attainable targets, we are putting Vancouver on the path to becoming the greenest city in the world.
