Vancouver Planning 2050 is a forward-looking planning document aimed at long-term development，encompassing goals related to economic growth，environmental protection，community integrity，housing，transportation，family and community connections，education，and cultural development. Drawing lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic，the plan places resilience and equality at its core principles，with a commitment to addressing urban uncertainties and reducing risks，thus creating a sustainable，inclusive，comfortable，and vibrant city. Resilience principles call for adaptability and recovery capacity，encouraging sustainable development and investments in infrastructure，energy efficiency，and disaster reduction measures. Equality principles emphasize fairness and inclusivity，requiring the equitable distribution of urban resources and opportunities to address inequalities in housing，employment opportunities，and social services. These two principles intersect within Vancouver’s planning，where resilience-building can promote equality，and equality can enhance resilience by eliminating social inequalities and barriers. Vancouver’s planning experiences and practices have significant implications for Chinese cities in addressing future challenges and achieving sustainable development.
