Transform Edmonton's Urban Form

Other Information:

Edmonton has increased its density and optimized existing infrastructure while maintaining and revitalizing strong, vibrant neighbourhoods; ensuring high standards of urban design; adopting best land use practices and preserving natural areas and public spaces. Elaboration: In setting the goal to transform Edmonton's urban form, the City recognizes the realities of the changing economics of urban service delivery. A more balanced use of dwelling densities, mixed-use, and place making which recognizes the strategic importance of building neighbourhoods differently is envisioned.
