ABSTRACT
Vancouver is widely known for the beauty of its natural setting and for its waterfront parks. Situated along English Bay and the southern shore of the Burrard Inlet, the central city has a stunning waterfront backdrop made the more dramatic by tall mountains rising steeply from the north shore. The downtown’s compactly grouped towers glitter against the mountains, Stanley Park seemingly floats in the bay, and everywhere the city meets the water’s edge with greenery. Within the greenery lies one of the world’s best and longest connected system of pedestrian and bicycle promenades.
