Current Scenario Series
One of Forecasting's primary tasks is periodically developing a series of future scenarios. Economic and demographic forecasts, future population and jobs distributions, and future pedestrian, bike, transit, commercial vehicle and road networks are required for the City and the Region for each time horizon included in the series.
The best available information on City and Region approvals, expected funding levels, and guiding policies are used in developing the various inputs. Participants in scenario series development include other divisions in The City and the Province of Alberta. This scenario series is a baseline against which alternatives analysis can be performed for future individual projects.
The Interim Development Trend Scenario Series is available for application to projects. The Series contains the horizon years 2018 (base year), 2028, 2038 and 2048.
Please see the Forecasting Toolbox for the land use and infrastructure assumptions that make up the scenario series.
