PLACEMAKING
Our placemaking projects aim to enhance, animate, and beautify downtown’s public realm. In downtown Van, you’ll stumble upon outdoor movies, majestic murals, markets, music, and more.
Downtown Van defines placemaking as a people-centered approach to improving outdoor public spaces. Whether it’s a park, plaza, street, or laneway, we strive to make downtown Vancouver a more welcoming, inclusive, and attractive destination for all to enjoy.

Say hello to the team
Behind every great placemaking project is a great group of people. We work with local artists, community organizations, private property owners and the City of Vancouver to create everything from pop-up activations to permanent public art. We’d love to work with you, too!
