Places for People Downtown is a City-led initiative that will provide a framework to shape the public space network in
Downtown Vancouver over the next 30 years.
The strategy will explore opportunities for public space and public realm improvements in the street right-of-way (including wider sidewalks, street-to-plaza conversions and laneway improvements), public spaces on City-owned or other public land (including plazas and open spaces), and privately-owned public spaces (POPS) such as office plazas. The Emerging Strategies outlined in this document will inform a vision for Downtown Vancouver that enhances public space and public life, and will help shape the development of the Downtown Public Space and Public Life Strategy guiding the next 30 years of development in Downtown Vancouver.
