Urban Development is a division of Development & Building Approvals and is the development review co-ordinating entity for the following Engineering-oriented City of Calgary business units:
- Roads
- Water Services
- Waste & Recycling Services
- Environmental Management
- Land Information and Mapping
- Utility Line Assignments
- Geomatics
Our primary goal is to ensure that development occurs safely and in accordance with the engineering standards provided by The City.
Urban Development is also one of the four partner business units that make up the Corporate Planning Applications Group (CPAG).
Urban Development is divided into three sections:
- Subdivisions,
- Engineering Development
- Development / Business Issues
The Development / Business Issues section is responsible for various issues that may arise. These issues and who will work to resolve them, is dependent upon where an application has progressed within the Development Approval process.
