The City Plan, which will be completed in 2020, will set a goal of creating welcoming communities to grow our city to 2 million. Housing choices and how we can integrate more housing in the ‘missing middle' range will help us reach this goal.
On August 26, 2019, City Council approved changes to the Zoning Bylaw that will introduce more flexibility to 5 different zones in order to allow for more diverse multi-unit housing options to be built in neighbourhoods across the city.

Visit 'Missing Middle' Zoning Review Project to learn how these changes were developed.
In 2019, the City of Edmonton hosted a design competition that invited teams to create a multi-unit housing project that was well-designed, economically feasible, and considered the neighbourhood context.
The City received 30 creative entries that showcased the variety of 'missing middle' housing that could be built on a site. The winning team has acquired the right to purchase 5 parcels of City-owned land at the northeast corner of 112 Avenue and 106 Street in the Spruce Avenue neighbourhood and build their winning design, subject to rezoning approval.
