'''Robson Street''' is a major southeast-northwest thoroughfare in [[Downtown Vancouver|downtown]] and [[West End, Vancouver|West End]] of [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]], Canada. Its core commercial blocks from [[Burrard Street]] to Jervis were also known as '''Robsonstrasse.'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.robsonstreet.ca/our-story/|title = Our Story}}</ref> Its name honours [[John Robson (politician)|John Robson]], a major figure in British Columbia's entry into the [[Canadian Confederation]], and Premier of the province from 1889 to 1892. Robson Street starts at [[BC Place Stadium]] near the north shore of [[False Creek]], then runs northwest past [[Vancouver Public Library|Vancouver Library Square]], [[Robson Square]] and the [[Vancouver Art Gallery]], coming to an end at [[Lost Lagoon]] in [[Stanley Park]].

As of 2006,{{Update after|2012|01|04}} the city of Vancouver overall had the fifth most expensive retail rental rates in the world, averaging US$135 per square foot per year, citywide. Robson Street tops Vancouver with its most expensive locations renting for up to US$200 per square foot per year.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=447af12f-73fc-4618-af2a-c547bb46f71e&k=83599 | title=Vancouver's retail rates among world's top five | publisher=Vancouver Sun | date=2006-02-06 | access-date=2008-07-10}}</ref> In 2006, both Robson Street and the [[Mink Mile]] on [[Bloor Street]] in [[Toronto]] were the 22nd most expensive streets in the world, with rents of $208 per square feet. In 2007, the Mink Mile and Robson slipped to 25th in the world with an average of $198 per square feet.
