The majority of Vancouver's historic buildings are in the Gastown and Chinatown areas. Older sections of the city have undergone considerable change since 1960, when downtown high-rise office buildings and hotels were built. False Creek – a decaying industrial area with sawmills, rail yards, and small shops -- was transformed into a residential development project. Gastown, the original heart of the city, was restored in the 1880s style with antique stores and boutiques.
溫哥華的歷史建築大多坐落在蓋斯敦和中國城地區。自1960年以來，溫哥華的老城區發生了相當大的變化，市中心的摩天辦公樓和旅館拔地而起。法爾斯河這個鋸木廠、鐵路調車場、小店鋪充斥其間的日漸衰敗的工業區，已被改造爲住宅發展區。舊城的市中心蓋斯敦 區已重新恢復了 1880 年代的風格，古玩店和時裝禮品店四處可見。
