- **Event Description**: False Creek South: Sharing the DNA of Belonging.About this EventIssueVancouver’s historic neighbourhood planning tradition is being eclipsed by citywide growth frameworks that prioritize development scale and financial yield over community-based planning principles. As the city approaches the 2026 civic election, there is a timely need to re-centre public understanding of neighbourhood planning, local knowledge, and place-based decision-making.BackgroundVancouver has a long legacy of neighbourhood-led planning that emphasized livability, social cohesion, and context-sensitive urban design. Recent planning approaches have shifted toward broad, top-down growth strategies, often experienced by residents as disconnected from local needs and neighbourhood character.There is strong public interest in revisiting how neighbourhood planning can:Support housing affordability without eroding livabilityBalance growth with infrastructure, services, and social capacityStrengthen democratic participation at the local level
