The Vancouver Plan (2022) was rescinded and replaced with the Vancouver Official Development Plan (ODP) in March 2026. The ODP includes all the content from Vancouver Plan, adding necessary information to meet provincial legislation, updates to reflect Council direction and minor updates to improve clarity. Learn more about the Vancouver ODP. 

Engagement Highlights:

The concept of 'Complete Neighbourhoods' is a key component of Vancouver Plan, and now the Vancouver ODP. As part of the engagement work related to this larger city-wide planning process, a series of activities were delivered in 2021, including walking tours, workshops, a dialogue session and a survey. Further work to refine the concept took place as part of Vancouver Plan Phase 3 and 4 activities (Fall 2021 - Spring 2022).  

Through this work, we reached out to all those who live, work and play in Vancouver to help shape ‘Complete Neighbourhoods’: a strong network of unique, connected places across the city.

A Complete Neighbourhood has all of your essential needs within close proximity to one another, and supports the needs of all residents in a community, regardless of income, culture, background or abilities. Think: diverse housing options, a mix of shops and services, alongside childcare facilities, libraries, galleries and recreation centres – linked by lively pathways, parks and plazas.
