November 2025: Villages planning program - Phase 2 engagement launches
The Vancouver Plan identifies multiple areas as future Villages - areas that will grow into vibrant hubs with a range of housing options and essential shops and services within a short walk, ride, or roll from work or home.
The Villages Planning Program is now in Phase 2: Emerging Ideas & Directions. Building on what we heard in Phase 1, we are sharing ideas and draft land use plans for the Villages, showing where things like apartment buildings, shops and services could go.
Between now and Friday, December 12th, 2025, you can learn more about the emerging ideas and directions for Villages, attend an event and provide your feedback.
Feedback collected through this engagement will be used to inform the final Villages Plan and areas for city-initiated zoning changes presented to Council in Spring 2026.
