About us

Strong Towns is a global movement that has set its sights on transforming the way we envision and build our communities. The movement is rooted in a deep-seated passion for urban development and public policy, with a mission to foster sustainability, resilience, and vibrancy in communities across the globe. We exist to challenge conventional thinking, pushing boundaries and provoking fresh perspectives on urban development. Our goal is not just to inspire a new generation of urbanists, but to empower them to take action and drive change in their own communities.

Established in late 2023, Strong Towns Vancouver is a piece of this dynamic global movement. We are more than just a local chapter – we are a local conversation! A collective of individuals from all sorts of personal and professional backgrounds dedicated to fostering a stronger and more resilient Vancouver. Our focus is on promoting models of development that will sustain and strengthen our city in the long term.

We understand that building a stronger city goes beyond the physical infrastructure. It means cultivating a culture of thought-provoking conversations and engaging events that bring people together. It means providing valuable resources to help our community understand and implement our mission. But most importantly, it means driving action, no matter how small.

We believe that each one of us has a role to play in making Vancouver stronger and more vibrant. Whether it's participating in a local event, contributing to a discussion, or simply spreading the word about our mission, every action counts. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Embrace the opportunity to be a part of a global change. Let's work to create a stronger, more resilient Vancouver, together!
