Planning Areas

The City of Calgary has divided the city into 42 local planning areas to facilitate more comprehensive urban development. These areas group multiple communities together based on shared amenities, geographic features, and common planning needs. Boundaries are primarily determined by major roads (e.g.,

Crowchild Trail Crowchild Trail is a major expressway in western Calgary, Alberta. The segment from the 12 Mile Coulee Road at the edge of the city to 16 Avenue NW (Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 1) is designated as Highway 1A by Alberta Transportation ...

Known Planning Areas

* Chinook * East Calgary/International Avenue (formerly Greater Forest Lawn Communities) * Heritage * North Hill * Riley * South Shaganappi * West Elbow * Westbrook

Industrial areas

Most industrial areas are located between

and 36 Street East in the northern half of the city; between Macleod Trail, Deerfoot Trail and
