Climate action through planning

2030 targets

90% of Vancouver residents living within an easy walk or roll of their daily needs.

Cities have a unique opportunity to take meaningful climate action at a local level through land-use planning tools like zoning and community plans.

Land-use planning shapes:

  • Neighbourhood design
  • Transportation network design
  • Economic growth

Building the future we want

As we plan for growth in Vancouver, it is essential we do it in a way that:

  • Prioritizes complete communities
  • Supports a healthier, cleaner, and safer climate-friendly future

What a climate friendly Vancouver means

Policy details

The city-wide Vancouver Plan and local area projects, like the Broadway Plan, help more people live within an easy walk or roll of their daily needs.
