Smart Growth

Council did not consider the full Smart Growth proposal.

Council received the Economic Impact Report on January 4, 2010, and had a presentation on the Smart Growth Community Survey results on February 1, 2010.

On January 4, 2010, they requested new Smart Growth concepts (resulting in the development of the Smart Growth Hybrid).

Preserving the high quality of life and sense of community that defines St. Albert is important to residents. Recognizing the need to maximize land and resources, City Council directed the use of Smart Growth principles to guide future growth and development.

The City is taking a leadership role in the province by proposing an innovative approach to implementing Smart Growth, ensuring St. Albert continues to be a city of choice in the region. Smart Growth is an exciting and innovative project that will shape the future of St. Albert.

Smart Growth will apply to the lands St. Albert annexed in February 2007.
