Service description

​​
City Planning & Policy plans for the needs of current and future Calgarians. We provide a foundation for land development, community growth, mobility and business activity in Calgary.

Our plans and policies translate Council and citizen's priorities into tools for the development industry to plan and build communities providing homes and jobs to Calgarians. We collaborate with communities and industry to consider the interests of the various groups and create balanced outcomes.

City Planning & Policy also directly supports the preservation of irreplaceable heritage buildings, improved urban design and sustainability in Calgary.

You’ve told us you value reliability, fairness, reduced risk, convenience and reduced effort.  Through feedback from Calgarians, Council has directed us to involve citizens and communities in the future planning of their neighbourhoods; we want to create a balance between community growth and respect for the established culture and context of neighbourhoods- because you’ve told us that’s important to making Calgary a great city.
