西端区 (温哥华)

西端区日落海滩公园(Sunset Beach Park)

西端区(英语:West End)是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华的一个社区,以布勒街佐治西街和登曼街为界,西面毗邻英吉利湾,并与史丹利公园市中心的金融区、耶鲁镇高豪港等地区为邻,西端区每平方公里的人口密度约2万人左右,是全大温地区人口密度最高之处。

现西端区一带原为一片树林。到了1862年,以约翰·摩顿为首的三名英国商人在此处购入了面积达550英亩(约2.2平方公里)的土地,并打算以该处的泥土制砖[1],为西端的发展揭开序幕。然而,西端早期发展缓慢,树林到1890年代才逐渐被开发成高档住宅区。加拿大太平洋铁路公司后于1910年开发桑拿斯区,而该区也取代了西端成为温哥华市的首要高尚住宅区。与此同时,多层公寓也开始于西端内有路面电车行驶的街道(洛逊街、登曼街和戴维街)。二战后随着建筑技术进步和市政府放宽发展限制,西端也出现一股建筑潮。1962年至1975年间有超过220座多层大厦在西端落成。[2]

2006年西端区有44,560名居民,较2001年上升5.8%。19岁以下的居民占区内居民总数6.7%,20至39岁居民占48.6%,40至64岁居民占33.3%,而65岁或以上的居民则占11.4%。区内居民有61.3%以英语为母语,其次为中文(5.2%)和日语(4.2%)。区内家庭入息中位数为$38,581,而32.3%居民为低收入户。失业率为5.7%。[3]

温哥华的同志村戴维村也是位于西端区以内。
