As most people are well aware, modern development in Vancouver has been laid out and planned according to major neighbourhood projects. Here's how they compare by relative size:
- False Creek Flats: 308 acres
- North False Creek/Concord Pacific site: 204 acres
- Downtown South*: 128 acres
- Gastown Waterfront: 94 acres
- Southeast False Creek: 80 acres
- Coal Harbour/Bayshore Gardens: 64 acres
- Citygate: 9 acres
What's interesting to note is that three of these seven neighbourhoods are still to be developed, comprising 54% of the total 887 acres: False Creek Flats, Gastown Waterfront, and Southeast False Creek. The Downtown South area is still under development.
*The Downtown South area is north of Pacific Street, south of Robson, and east of the West End. It includes Yaletown.
