What is Urban Planning?
Have you ever wondered why Calgary is built the way it is, or how it will grow? The urban planning process has many moving parts, but you can watch this video by Planetizen to learn more.
As Calgary grows and we seek more sustainable ways of living we need to hear from the voices of community associations and citizens like you! So, at The Federation, we are here to help Calgarians and community association volunteers to learn about the planning process. We offer workshops, resources, and 1-on-1 support to not only help you learn and understand planning in The City of Calgary, but to also help community volunteers deal with planning issues in an effective and rewarding manner.
