Council direct staff to begin a City-wide Plan

On November 13, 2018 Vancouver City Council directed staff to expedite the development of a city-wide plan (view Council direction here). A long-term, city-wide plan would establish a clear framework to address rising issues in Vancouver such as housing affordability, environmental and social health. It would also address the need for long-term clarity around land-use, leveraging long-term capital investments and programs with senior levels of government, and encouraging a culture of innovation.

"Creating a long-term plan that takes into account the needs of all residents - current and future - is a positive and proactive way to collectively guide our future," said Mayor Kennedy Stewart.
