Our Local Mission
Established in late 2023, Strong Towns Vancouver – now VanPOP – a collective of diverse individuals committed to promoting development that will sustain and strengthen our city for the long term.
How We Work
Building a stronger city goes beyond infrastructure. We host thought-provoking conversations and engaging events, provide accessible resources, and drive action – no matter how small.
Join the Movement
Everyone has a role in making Vancouver stronger. Attend an event, join a discussion, or spread the word – every action counts. Join us in creating a more resilient Vancouver, together.
Global Movement
VanPOP is part of the global Strong Towns movement, challenging conventional thinking to empower urbanists and build sustainable, resilient communities worldwide.
