Get involved with the Higher Buildings Policy Review!

Help us shape the future of Vancouver’s downtown skyline!

The City of Vancouver is launching a review of the Higher Buildings Policy to advance key City objectives, including implementation of the recently approved Granville Street Plan. Join the conversation on how higher buildings can shape our skyline while also contributing to housing, public amenities and a vibrant downtown.

There are many ways you can get involved:

Visit a pop-up event: From March 31st to April 29th, City staff will hold drop-in events at various outdoor locations where you can learn more about this project, speak with staff, and share your ideas for your preferred future skyline.
- We will be at Queen Elizabeth Park, Charleston Park, Grandview Park, Crab Park, Olympic Village Seawall, Nine o’clock Gun Seawall, and Jericho Beach.
- Specific dates and times will be weather dependent, but each location will be visited multiple times.
- A few dates are proceeding rain or shine:
  - Queen Elizabeth Park (at “The Photo Session” sculpture): Sunday, April 26, 1-4 pm

Visit the Vancouver Lookout Exhibit: From May 1 to May 10, come to the observation deck of Vancouver Lookout to explore our exhibit on higher buildings and share your feedback while enjoying a 360° bird’s eye view of downtown.
