Vancouver's legacy of neighbourhood-led planning—emphasizing livability, social cohesion, and context-sensitive design—has been overshadowed by citywide growth strategies prioritizing scale and financial yield over local needs and character.
This series will attempt to re-centre public understanding of neighbourhood planning's potentially crucial role in addressing key challenges, crucially, supporting housing affordability without compromising livability; balancing growth with infrastructure, services, and social capacity; and enhancing local democratic participation.
By sparking informed, inclusive conversations, we aim to empower residents to advocate for equitable, resilient neighbourhoods that honour Vancouver's historic planning strengths and build a more equitable and democratic urban future.
