The Calgary Plan

Background

The proposed Calgary Plan is intended to replace the current Municipal Development Plan (MDP) that guides growth and city building. It is a high-level, long-term, statutory policy document that is required by Alberta’s Municipal Government Act (MGA) and sets policies for land use, development, transportation, and the provision of municipal services and facilities. The current MDP was originally approved in 2009 and updated in 2021.

This memorandum has been prepared by Calgarians For Thoughtful Growth as a working draft to assist members of Calgary City Council and interested stakeholders in their review of the Calgary Plan.
