his is an important development for urban planning in Edmonton, and it reflects the city’s commitment to creating a sustainable, accessible, and vibrant future. The approval of the new district policies and plans marks a significant step forward in implementing “The City Plan,” a vision centered on climate resilience and ensuring that residents have easy access to essential services and amenities close to home.
The concept of “15-minute cities” within the district plans aims to design neighborhoods that support quality of life, convenience, and environmental sustainability. While the term has been misunderstood and even misrepresented at times, the intent is clear: to build a city where individuals and families can thrive, connect, and access their daily needs without unnecessary barriers.
Congratulations to the Edmonton City Council and its urban planning team for this forward-thinking initiative. The city is now poised to become a model of thoughtful and inclusive urban design.
