Established Area Growth and Change Strategy

Established Area Growth and Change Strategy

The Established Area Growth and Change Strategy outlines how we help and invest in communities which are growing and changing. We are using this plan to make public spaces and networks stronger. This way, they can help meet the needs and wants of both current and new residents.

About the Strategy

Calgary's Established Area has about 180 communities where 80 per cent of Calgarians live. These communities are different in age and style. Some are growing and changing, while others have just completed their initial growth.

The Strategy shows how the city can help these communities. It helps make sure they stay great places to live and work. This supports the goals of the Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan (MDP/CTP).

Factors which support decision-making related to the Strategy include:

  • Enabling the Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan

  • Expected market demand

  • Thinking about financial impacts

  • How ready an area is for growth to occur

Supporting growth in existing communities helps use land and services efficiently. It also gives people nearby places to shop, play, and work. This Strategy identifies how The City can partner with other city builders to invest in growing communities to help enable growth and support people and businesses as that growth is happening.
