Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan 2018 Monitoring Progress Report
Overview
Calgary City Council approved the Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan in 2009. The Plans provide key strategic policy to guide growth, mobility and city building over a 60-year period. City Administration reports on the progress made towards The City’s 60-year goals every four years. The most recent report is the MDP/CTP 2018 Monitoring Progress Report (Progress Report).
The previous report had monitored only the first four years of the Plans. The 2018 Progress Report comes after enough time has passed to show the level of change or emerging trends in many areas. The report also offers a more in-depth approach than in the past, through the inclusion of more measures and more context than the previous report.
The report shows that together, as a community, we are moving in the right direction towards achieving the goals set by Calgary City Council.

Key findings of the Municipal Development Plan/Calgary Transportation Plan 2018 Monitoring Progress Report:
- Housing and job opportunities continue to increase in strategic locations including Main Streets and Activity Centres.
- Accommodating future urban growth within transit-supportive, mixed-use Activity Centres is a fundamental strategy for linking land use and transit. These areas are located strategically across the city to support population and employment growth and provide mixed-use community destinations.
- Density is increasing both city-wide and in new communities. This increase improves the efficiency of city investments and services like infrastructure and transit service.
- Infrastructure investments in Calgary communities are improving the transportation choices available to citizens. More people are walking, cycling, while auto usage is steady.
- Calgary is achieving a good balance of jobs and population across the city.
- Environmental performance remains a challenge in the city, with greenhouse gas emissions continuing to rise. In addition, more land is being covered by hard surfaces which can impact watershed health.
