The Vancouver City Council has unanimously approved the ‘Our Vancouver 2026-2045 Comprehensive Plan,’ a strategic framework set to guide the city’s growth over the next two decades. This plan aims to accommodate an anticipated increase of 81,000 residents, 38,000 new housing units, and 43,200 jobs by 2045.
Key components of the plan include:
- Repealing and replacing the existing zoning map and Title 20 Land Use and Development Code to better align with future growth objectives.
- Focusing on sustainable development practices to support the expanding population.
- Enhancing infrastructure and public services to meet the needs of new residents and businesses.
Community engagement played a significant role in shaping the plan, with numerous residents providing testimony in support of the comprehensive strategy. The plan’s adoption marks a pivotal step in Vancouver’s commitment to thoughtful and inclusive urban development.
