  • Robson Street is a major southeast-northwest thoroughfare in downtown and West End of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its core commercial blocks from Burrard Street to Jervis are also known as Robsonstrasse. Its name honours 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 B.C. Place Stadium near the north shore of False Creek, then runs northwest past Vancouver Library Square, Robson Square and the Vancouver Art Gallery, coming to an end at Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park. As of 2006, the city of Vancouver overall had the fifth most expensive retail rental rates in the world, averaging USD$135 per square foot per year, citywide. Robson Street tops Vancouver with its most expensive locations renting for up to USD$200 per square foot per year. In 2006, both were the 22nd most expensive streets in the world, with rents of $208 per square feet. In 2007, Bloor and Robson slipped to 25th in the world with an everage of $198 per square feet. The price of each continues to grow with Vancouver being Burberry's first Canadian location and Yorkville now commanding rents of $300 per square foot. In 1895, train tracks were laid down the street, supporting a concentration of shops and restaurants. From the early to middle-late 20th century, and especially after significant immigration from postwar Germany, the northwest end of Robson Street was known as a centre of German culture and commerce in Vancouver, earning the nickname Robsonstrasse, even among non-Germans (this name lives on in the Robsonstrasse Hotel on the street). At one time, the city had placed streetsigns reading "Robsonstrasse" though these were placed after the German presence in the area had largely vanished. Robson Street is also featured on the Canadian Monopoly board as the most expensive property.
  • ロブソン通り (Robson Street) は、カナダブリティッシュコロンビア州バンクーバー市のダウンタウンを南東から北西に向かって走る通りである。 ロブソン通りは、カナダの中でも土地が高く、賃貸では平均で年間208USドル/1平方フィート当たりとなっている。 1895年には、鉄道線路が敷かれ店やレストランを建設するサポートとなった。20世紀前半から中期にはロブソン通り北西部がバンクーバーのドイツ人文化と経済の中心となり、ドイツ人、さらに現地住民からも「Robsonstrasse」と呼ばれるようになった。現在ではこの様な名前で呼ぶことはないが、ホテルの名前に Robsonstrasse Hotel という名前が残っている。 現在は通りに面して数多くのコーヒーショップやファーストフードショップ、デパートや衣料品店等が数多く並び、バンクーバー内でも屈指の商業区域となっている。またこの通りに沿ってコーストマウンテンバス社によってトロリーバスが運行されている（行き先番号は5番）。
