Urban planning, sustainable zoning, and development
What is "Vancouverism"?
"Vancouverism" is an internationally known term that describes a new kind of city living. It combines deep respect for nature with enthusiasm for busy, engaging, active streets and dynamic urban life.
Vancouverism means tall slim towers for density, widely separated by low-rise buildings, for light, air, and views.It means many parks, walkable streets, and public spaces, combined with an emphasis on sustainable forms of transit.
We achieve a liveable, high-quality urban design through creative planning, combined with:
- Carefully crafted development policies, guidelines, and bylaws
- Extensive consultation with residents, businesses, and experts
- Ongoing reevaluation of where we are as a city, and where we would like to go
