City Plan (38MB)
What choices do we need to make to be a healthy, urban and climate resilient city of two million people that supports a prosperous region?
Edmonton’s City Plan, Charter Bylaw 20,000, was approved by City Council on December 7, 2020, and charts out how we will get to a future city, a city that has the benefits we enjoy today with new opportunities for the future.
The City Plan is about our spaces and places and how we move around the city. It is about our community and what we need to do together to grow, adapt and succeed.
The City Plan combines a Municipal Development Plan and Transportation Master Plan, and includes strategic direction in environmental planning, social planning and economic development.
It comprehensively replaces The Ways documents by setting strategic direction for the way Edmonton grows, its mobility systems, open spaces, employment and social networks, generally touching on most aspects of life in Edmonton.
