Livable and vibrant city

Shaping Calgary's Future Livable and vibrant city

Great place to make a living, great place to make a life.

Calgary thrives because of the people, businesses, and communities that shape it every day. Whether it’s a flourishing economy that supports careers and entrepreneurship or vibrant neighbourhoods that foster connection and culture, we’re building a city where opportunity and quality of life go hand in hand.

Through thoughtful planning, public investment, and the contributions of our residents, Calgary continues to grow as a place where people can build their futures while enjoying everything that makes life here special. Together, we’re creating a city that’s welcoming, dynamic, and ready for generations to come.
