Alberta sets provincewide expectations for high-density infill development

Alberta is setting provincewide rules for high-density infill housing, requiring developments to be appropriately scaled, responsive to local conditions, and supported by utilities. Edmonton must revert zoning and parking rules to pre-2024 standards within three months, while Calgary will maintain its current approach with an overlay for low-density zones. The province aims to balance growth with neighborhood character, addressing concerns about building heights, parking, and traffic.
