Goals
The Way We Live Plan includes six goals to be achieved within the next 10 years. Read each of the goals and how we propose achieving them. Then complete the survey for each goal.
Goal One
Edmonton is a vibrant, connected, engaged and welcoming city.
Our strength is in our relationships, and Edmontonians want the opportunity to connect with each other to build a sense of belonging. Our neighbourhoods, communities, public places, streets and urban spaces, our people programs and services all provide those opportunities.
Goal Two
Edmonton celebrates life!
Arts, theatre, festivals, sporting events: something for anyone and everyone is available to Edmontonians, no matter what the season or the venue. We enjoy our parks and natural spaces as well as our world class sporting and arts and cultural venues to enjoy our leisure time and our active lifestyles.
Goal Three
Edmonton is a caring, inclusive and affordable community.
Edmonton offers people opportunities at and for every stage of life: a place to belong. An inclusive and nurturing community adds to our overall success and well-being, particularly as Edmonton's population continues to grow larger and more culturally diverse.
Goal Four
Edmonton is a safe city.
Safety is a key element for all of us: a feeling of safety and security is the foundation for success and well-being. Social order and crime prevention are the community's response to building bonds that keep us safe. City of Edmonton programs and services work to prevent crime and enforce laws, but the fundamental responsibility lies with us all.
Goal Five
Edmonton is an attractive city.
Pride in a clean, attractive city is important to us all. Aesthetically pleasing streetscapes, landscapes and well designed buildings are encouraging to see in this young city, and continuing to encourage this appreciation for public art, urban design and heritage is important as Edmonton grows.
Goal Six
Edmonton is a sustainable city.
Our focus is to encourage the social networks that allow us to thrive. This plan gives direction to support those social networks and organizations that contribute to public engagement, volunteerism and leadership opportunities.
