Developing the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) is a dynamic hub for growth and innovation, shaping the future of Vaughan. More than a decade into its evolution, the city’s downtown core continues to expand with new developments, key city-building projects and vibrant public spaces. With more amenities opening and opportunities for community engagement, the VMC is evolving into a destination where people can live, work, play and connect!
The City of Vaughan is committed to developing the VMC as a complete community with a mix of uses that are transit-supportive and pedestrian-friendly. It is envisioned to be the financial, innovation and cultural centre of Vaughan, with a vibrant sense of place, a high-quality public realm and environmentally sustainable design practices.
The City’s VMC Sub-Committee meets monthly to help guide growth and bring the vision to life. The following items were discussed during the March meeting:
VMC Secondary Plan – Phase 4 update
The City’s project team provided an update on the status of the new VMC Secondary Plan, which included an update on key policy and schedule changes. Staff are in the final stages of updating the plan, which will be presented to the public and Vaughan Council this spring. Learn more in this VMC Sub-Committee Report (PDF).
