Young Planners ideas come to life for the Vancouver Plan. 

Complete communities work well for everyone, which means people of ALL ages, backgrounds, needs and abilities can live, work, shop, learn, and play in close proximity to one another in their neighbourhood. When a community is just (equitable), green (sustainable) and fun, everyone can stay healthy and happy in the city. 

Putting People First: a dialogue on Vancouver’s public spaces (VIDEO)

Vancouver's public spaces are where public life happens. These plazas, squares, streets, laneways, pathways, and waterfront are where we connect with the city and with each other. It's where community is created.

How do we improve the delivery of extraordinary public spaces in Vancouver? In what way can we approach the study of public life? How do we ensure inclusive placemaking?
