Transforming Planning
Transforming
Planning is a strategic initiative at The City of Calgary to design and deliver
a high-performance planning system in partnership with citizens, industry, community and City staff. Under the
guidance of its multi-stakeholder Working Group,
the initiative is currently operating two projects – including Outline
of a New Planning System and Piloting
Applications – designed to launch Calgary towards a new planning system,
based on a dynamic approach that combines active research and collaborative
design. Founded on a June 2012 Council directive to
undertake a broad-scale review of Calgary’s planning process, Transforming
Planning is closely aligned with Transforming Government and its goals to
deliver a high standard of civic transparency, accountability, innovation,
engagement, customer service and sustainability. Very few cities in
North America have attempted to re-envision their planning system on this
scale.
