2011 FCM Sustainable Communities Awards Winner — Planning — City of Calgary: Overview

City of Calgary, Alberta

Plan It Calgary

Starting in 2005, 18,000 citizens of Calgary worked together to envision their future well into the next century. The process that established the city’s long-term vision was called imagineCALGARY. In 2007, city council launched a similar process, known as Plan It Calgary, to integrate land use and mobility plans to guide policies and actions for the next 60 years. The Plan It Calgary initiative set the stage for residents to begin to understand how the city will accommodate both new growth and the needs of its aging residents.
