The problem I have with documents like PlanIt or ImagineCalgary, is there is little or no reference to what's happening in the market. It's like they believe they can force these changes. Don't get me wrong, I don't oppose change. I just think much of it would happen naturally. I see it in my own community of Highland Park. |
I think the biggest issue is that the current planning system does not easily allow for change. Although the market might be able to support new types of neighbourhoods, it is often difficult for interested developers to get planning permission as the planning system was originally designed to prevent such developments.
