Makore okuma1960 akaunza kuchinja kunotungamira kuvanhu vakawanda vachishandisa zvivako zvepamusoro-soro zvokugara zviri pakati peguta. Mumakore ekuma1980, kuvandudzwa kwenzvimbo dzakasviba nzvimbo dzekare dzeindasitiri dzekusimudzira kondomu mudunhu reFalse Creek yaive mhedzisiro yekuti yaive nzvimbo yeExpo 1986. Pakutanga, nzvimbo iyi yaiva musimboti weindasitiri uye yakanga yatanga kuderera sezvo indasitiri yakachinja. Pashure peExponzvimbo yacho yakatengwa naHong Kong billionaire Li Ka-Shing nokuda kwe 320 mamiriyoni uye zvivako zvakawanda zvokugara zvepamusoro zvakatevera suite. Izvi zvakakurudzira tsika yekusimudzira iyo yakatsigirwa kuburikidza nemagwaro ekuronga akadai seLivable Region Strategic Planning 1996. Nzira dzokuronga dzomumaguta dzakadai seSmart Growth dzakasimbisa zvinangwa zvezvakatipoteredza zvinogona kuwanikwa kuburikidza nokupa nzvimbo dzomumaguta dzinoshandiswa uye dzinoshandiswa zvakasiyana-siyana izvo zvaizoderedza kupararira kwemaguta. Vatsoropodzi veSmart Growth vanosimbisa zvinhu zvinowanzoregeredzwa zvine chekuita nekodzero dzehurongwa uhwu sezvo vachiwanzoregeredza vagari vane mari shoma. Kutengeka kwedzimba kwakava nhau mukati ma2001-2007 sezvo mutengo wemakamuri maviri ekurara kumugumo wokumadokero kweVancouver wakachinja kubva pa 260,000 kusvika pa 650,000.

EcoDensity ndiyo mhinduro yekugona kutenga dzimba pane kupa dzimba dzevanhu. Dzimba dzinoverengeka dzakavakwa pakati peguta reEastside dzakatamisa vangangoita zviuru zvina zvevagari vane mari shoma kubva muna Chikumi 2007-Ndira 2008. Vatsoropodzi veEcoDensity, vanoratidza kuti hurongwa hwacho hahufungi nezvemashoko anobva kuvagari vemo pakuronga matanho.
