In 2014 , Edmonton introduced the Infill Roadmap to help achieve a key goal of its municipal development plan, The Way We Grow .

In 2018 , council adopted Infill Rdmap 2.0 . This version shifted focus to the “missing middle” emphasizing housing types between single-detached homes and highrise apartments.

The updated bylaw allows even more density and intensity in developed areas.

Without a vibrant, busy downtown, full of residential towers, office workers, cultural facilities, and exciting retail.

Lindsey Butterfield is BILD Edmonton Metro’s vice-president, government relations and policy.

She is a registered professional planner with over 20 years of land use planning, policy building, and collaborative problem-solving expertise.

Butterfield : Without that effort, the facilities and services needed to support the intensification of our existing neighbourhoods won’t materialize.
