Over 1600 kids in 33 different schools across all twelve wards shared their ideas for the choices we should make in The City Plan. This comic tells the story of an intrepid group of kids who build the City of Tomorrow and share their vision of the city they want to live in.
Take a virtual walk through Edmonton with The City Plan Story Map. Learn more about the impact of good planning on the development of our city.
The City Plan is a plan for people. How will Edmontonians experience our city as we grow to become a healthy, urban, climate resilient city in a prosperous region? The choices we make along the way will impact how we move around the city, where we work, where we live, and where we go to have fun. To ensure The City Plan is a plan for Edmontonians, The City Plan includes a dynamic and flexible public engagement program to ensure the voices of our city are heard.

Prior to The City Plan work, over 4000 individual engagement records were gathered through engagement for Vision 2050. This data was used to provide a foundation for The City Plan’s Guiding Values and City Building Outcomes.
Since September 2018, The City Plan team has carried out public engagement events across the city to encourage Edmontonians to refine the Guiding Values and City Building Outcomes.
At all those events we asked Edmontonians to tell us what they love about our city, and what the opportunities are as we grow to a city of two million people.
Edmontonians commonly describe their vision for our city as a healthy, safe, inclusive, diverse and multicultural with a strong sense of community. Emphasis was placed on being ecologically sustainable, climate resilient, and protecting and celebrating our river valley. It’s important to Edmontonians that our city provide affordable housing and diverse and accessible transportation options. Edmontonians are proud of our engaged citizenry and believe a diverse economy will help to attract global investment.
Key stakeholders and members of the public had the opportunity to dream up big, transformational City Moves in a series of model building workshops in late 2018. Represented at different scales, the suggested City Moves generated by the public have been consolidated into the five Big City Moves.
The City Plan has structured a dedicated program to engage Indigenous communities in and around Edmonton.
In 2018, we contacted the City’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) partners including Enoch Cree Nation, the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations, Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, and the Métis Nation of Alberta. This process is part of the City’s commitment to build and maintain connections with First Nations and Métis communities with historic and cultural connections to the land where Edmonton is now located.
Throughout 2019, we will continue participation of MOU partners through dedicated engagement events facilitated by The City Plan Team, and recently retained Indigenous Engagement consultants. As the project progresses, feedback and results from those processes will be reported in a dedicated Indigenous Engagement What We Heard document.
The City Plan will consider a full range of perspectives to ensure that it is responsive to the needs of the city. We are structuring our engagement to incorporate four perspectives:
In addition to engagement events that are open to the public, we have invited core stakeholders from local public institutions, civil society, and businesses to engage on topics specific to their areas of expertise. Feedback and results from this process will be reported in The City Plan What We Are Hearing reports throughout the project.
