The city of Edmonton just unveiled their next (draft) 10 year plan to accommodate the growth of 1,000,000 more residents.
With affordability being a key concern across Canada, this is sure to set Edmonton apart, and create many opportunities for developers, rental housing providers, and families alike.
Here are a few highlights I pulled out of the report for you:
• Edmonton will attract and retain one million more residents.
• Two million new urban trees planted.
• 600,000 additional residents welcomed into the redeveloping area.
• 50% of net new units added through infill within the city boundary.
• 50% of trips are made by transit and active transportation.
• 15 minute districts that allow people to easily complete their daily needs.
• There is no chronic or episodic homelessness in Edmonton.
• Less than 35% of average household expenditures spent on housing & transportation.
• 70% of employment within the region will be in Edmonton.
• Nodes & corridors support 50% of all employment in Edmonton. Have you seen REIN's transportation effect report?
The PDF document is way too big to attach as a file.
So, here is a link for the new draft plan: https://lnkd.in/gwUuJ5X
