Growth Management Framework
Why this matters:
In alignment with the land use concept (map #1) in The City plan, UDI would like to ensure that strategic and continuous growth is enabled in all areas of the city, that red tape is reduced to enable speed to market, and undue delays to bringing on more supply are avoided. This project should seek to bring clarity to the future planning, development and infrastructure investments needed to support Edmonton’s growth from 1 to 2 million people over the coming decades.
Our desired outcome:
- Infrastructure investment to support growth is identified and is in place
- Clarity around capital investments is achieved and structured to support growth
- Additional burden on private sector to pay for offsite infrastructure and amenities are avoided or eliminated
- Edmonton’s growth strategy enables development to support housing affordability and economic development
- Key infrastructure investments required to support growth are identified
