Attractiveness
Edmontonians want a visually attractive city and community. This includes interesting and unique architecture, maintaining historical and heritage buildings, and a strong desire for continued investment in environmentally sustainable buildings and development.
Residents have noted that a focus on density increases the creativity of building design resulting in more unique architecture overall. It is also important for development, particularly affordable housing, to be designed to integrate with its surroundings instead of being markedly low-cost housing.
Edmonton's reputation and tourism industry are impacted directly by the various aspects of attractiveness. These activities that take place in the City, along with the amenities it possesses are important for ensuring Edmonton's place as a desirable location to live and to visit.
