What is the City Building Program?


Calgary is growing and changing quickly. The City Building Program is about setting up Calgary for the future of how we use land, build, and move around our city.

The three initiatives as part of the program:

  • Calgary Plan (merges, streamlines and updates the current Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan into one document) is the highest-level planning document guiding future land use and growth.
  • Zoning Bylaw (currently the Land Use Bylaw) regulates how and where buildings are developed.
  • Street Manual (currently the Complete Streets Policy & Guide) guides how streets are designed to support safe travel options.

  • Calgary Plan

    The Calgary Plan is Calgary’s proposed highest level planning document. It will outline the vision and framework for the city’s growth and change over the coming decades.

  • Zoning Bylaw

    The new Zoning Bylaw (currently called the Land Use Bylaw) will simplify the rules that govern the use of land and the form of buildings in the city.
