YouMap Vancouver is a partnership between the Vancouver City Planning Commission and Smart Growth BC.

The Vancouver City Planning Commission is a volunteer body appointed by the Vancouver City Council to advise on issues related to long term planning in the City. The Commission strives to deliver outstanding long-range planning and research advice to City Council in part by listening to Vancouverites.

The Vancouver City Planning Commission is leading an enquiry into the City's resilience in the face of change, called "Vancouver: A City Built for Change." The key questions being asked are:

How ready is Vancouver to deal with big new societal, economic and environmental issues?
How adaptable to change are the City's spaces, buildings and neighbourhoods?

At the Summit on Change in March, key drivers of change were identified and explored. Now, to understand how we can best adapt to change and, at the same time, maintain the beauty, liveability and uniqueness of our neighbourhoods, the Vancouver City Planning Commission, in partnership with Smart Growth BC, is launching a community asset mapping initiative - YouMap Vancouver.
