This paper systematically reviews the characteristics and internal motivations of changes in the two stages of constructing a system framework and focusing on key areas in Vancouver’s urban green development process, and then summarizes and discusses the effectiveness and experience of Vancouver’s five levels, including strategic direction, planning transmission, supporting policies, multi-party collaboration and evaluation mechanism.
