About City
Vancouver, a significant city in western Canada, is situated in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia (/vaenkuvr/ van-KOO-vr). The city has 662,248 residents according to the 2021 Canadian census, an increase from 631,486 in 2016. It was the province's most populous city. The Greater Vancouver region was the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada in 2021 with a population of 2.6 million. The Lower Mainland, which includes Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, has a population of more than 3 million people. With more than 5,700 inhabitants per square kilometer, Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada and the fourth-highest in North America (after New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City).
One of the most linguistically and ethnically diverse cities in Canada is Vancouver, where 54.5 percent of citizens identify as members of visible minorities and 49.3 percent of residents do not use English as a first language. It consistently ranks as one among the world's and Canada's most livable cities. Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in both Canada and the globe in terms of housing affordability. Vancouver wants to become the world's greenest city. The city's urban planning and design ideology is known as Vancouverism.
More than 10,000 years ago, the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh (Burrard) peoples began to settle in Vancouver. The initial name of the contemporary city, Gastown, was given to the area where Gassy Jack's temporary inn was constructed on July 1, 1867, on the western outskirts of Hastings Mill. The Gastown Steam Clock identifies the original location. After that, Gastown was formally recognised as Granville, Burrard Inlet, a townsite. Through an agreement with the Canadian Pacific Railway, the city was given the new name of "Vancouver" in 1886. By 1887, the community had received a transcontinental railway connection from Canadian Pacific.
A crucial link in the trade between Asia-Pacific, East Asia, Europe, and Eastern Canada was established by the city's sizable natural harbour on the Pacific Ocean.
The 1954 Commonwealth Games, UN Habitat I, Expo 86, APEC Canada 1997, the World Police and Fire Games in 1989 and 2009, several matches of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, including the finals at BC Place in Downtown Vancouver, and the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics that were held in Vancouver and Whistler, a resort town 125 kilometres (78 miles) north of the city, are just a few of the international conferences and events that Vancouver has hosted. Greenpeace was established in Vancouver in 1969. In 2014, the city took on the role of permanent host for TED conferences.
