Healthy Cities: We're No. 4!

.

No. 4: Vancouver –

If you were to get on Interstate 5 near the Mexican border and drive north through Los Angeles, Sacramento, Portland and Seattle, the first stoplight you’d encounter would be in Canada — just inside Vancouver’s city limits.
That’s because I-5 ends just south of Vancouver, British Columbia, making it the only major city in North America without an interstate running through it, says Deputy City Manager Sadhu Johnston.
With a dense downtown, a strong public transportation system and miles of bike lanes, it’s the “most walkable city in Canada,” Johnston says.
The shift away from a car-centered culture in one reason the city also has some of the cleanest air in the world.
Other reasons include strict environmental standards for buildings and businesses, and a natural environment — marked by evergreen forests and ocean breezes — that helps purify air pollutants. …
Overall, Vancouver has seen a 6% reduction in its carbon emissions since 1990, Johnston says, despite a nearly 30% growth in population and an 18% growth in jobs. He says the city has showed that “you can create a clean and green environment without impacting your quality of life and your economy.”

The City of Vancouver launched a Healthy City Strategy last April, with a “Talk Healthy City for All” engagement process. 

Anyone have an update?
 
UPDATE: The Healthy Cities strategy is scheduled to go to Council on September 30, 2014.
