Tu sais pas "de ou que je tiens ça" ?
D'abord il y a un réglement qui s'appelle le Heritage Revitalization Agreements, adopté par la ville de Vancouver en 1994.

Heritage Revitalization Agreements
Introduction
The 1994 amendments of the Vancouver Charter included the creation of a new heritage conservation tool, the Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA). An HRA is an agreement negotiated by the City and an owner of heritage property. An HRA outlines the duties, obligations and benefits negotiated by both parties of the agreement.
A heritage revitalization agreement may:
* vary or supplement the provisions of a: zoning by-law; subdivision by-law; heritage conservation by-law; development cost levies by-law; development permit; heritage alteration permit.
* establish the timing of agreement terms; and
* include other terms or conditions agreed to by both parties.
Example 1
A family owns a heritage house situated on a large lot in a single family neighbourhood. The owner wishes to subdivide their property into two legal-sized lots, which would require the relocation or destruction of the house. To preserve the heritage building in its present landscaped setting, the owner and the City enter into a HRA with terms that allow for both the subdivision of the property and the in situ retention of the house. The agreement varies the Subdivision By-law to allow subdivision into two lots, creating one lot narrower than permitted. In return, the owner agrees to restore and continually protect and conserve the heritage house and any future narrow lot development is subject to siting requirements. Because the proposal is in keeping with the permitted use and density, a public hearing would not normally be required. However, the protection of the heritage building and the requirement for a HAP (Heritage Alteration Permit) deems a Public Hearing necessary.
Example 2
In order to conserve an historic hotel and to construct a new building beside it, a significant investment in restoration work is required and certain variances are requested.
The property owner and City staff negotiate an HRA that describes the form of development, varies siting requirements, permits non-conforming uses and increases the allowable density on the site. In return, the owner agrees to restore, maintain and protect the exterior of the building and the interior lobby, grand staircase and ballroom and allow public access for one day per year. A Public Hearing is required because of the use and density variances requested.

Ensuite, et même surtout, il y a le programme
Ecodensity, dont voici un des principaux éléments:
Through City policies and by-laws, developers contribute to the cost of providing amenities to serve the population they build for. Every new development in the city pays a per square foot Development Cost Levy (DCL,) used to help pay for new parks, child care, social housing, and transportation-related improvements. Last year developers paid $21 million to the City in DCLs; in 2007 to date, DCL revenues already exceed $53 million.
In addition, large scale rezonings provides additional opportunity for developers to contribute significantly more amenities in addition to the DCLs. Downtown rezonings have long illustrated the high quality of amenities, from school sites to cultural facilities to parks and seawalls that are provided as part of the development contribution. Outside the downtown, two recent rezoned developments along Kingsway are examples: as part of a rezoning at the corner of Knight and Kingsway, the new development is contributing space for a new Kensington branch library; the development at Nanaimo and Kingsway the development is providing a fully-outfitted child daycare facility, as well as start-up and endowment fund contributions.
