Vancouver 's Broadway plan upzoning neighbourhood of Kitsilano is in play.

Developers have set in motion at least 23 highrise projects, mostly in the 20 -storey range.

Critics, including residents, retired architects and planning consultants, say it’s overreach.

An online interactive map shows 23 tower proposals for east Kitsilano in Vancouver 's Broadway Plan .

10 of the projects are in late stages of rezoning, five are in the midst of re-zoning and eight are at an early stage.

The map uses 3D technology to graphically illustrate how towers will impact the Broadway corridor.

The 23 towers would provide roughly 3,000 living units, mostly for renters.
