Citywide Growth Strategy

Citywide Growth Strategy

As Calgary grows, we want to build our city in a way that is mindful of the future, promotes sustainable ways of living, supports complete and vibrant communities, encourages a variety of housing choices and supports housing affordability, enables a strong industrial sector and balances the interests of neighbourhoods with the interests of Calgary as a whole.

Our Citywide growth strategy work focuses on how and where Calgary invests in growth to achieve the long-term vision described in the Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan, and Council’s priorities of economic, social and climate resiliency.  

Topics in this section

  • Investments to support established area growth

    The Citywide Growth Strategy enables and supports growth in established area communities by prioritizing and planning investments and reducing barriers to redevelopment.

  • Investing in new communities

    The Citywide Growth Strategy helps our new communities to be successful by ensuring that communities are compact and complete, provide a wide range of housing choice, mobility options and access to daily needs for new residents.

  • Investing in industrial growth

    The industrial component of the Citywide Growth Strategy looks to enable sustainable industrial development. Strong industrial areas are the foundation for Calgary’s role as an inland port and distribution centre for western Canada.
