Edmonton City Council Approves 15-Minute Cities
On October 2, Edmonton City Council voted in favour and approved the city’s long-term vision to create 15-minute cities, following a three-day public hearing.
“These initiatives support City Council’s goal of making it easier to build in Edmonton, as we continue to welcome record numbers of newcomers and see record numbers of housing development permits,” said Mayor Amarjeet Sohi.
“The new District Policy aligns with Edmonton’s 2050 City Plan, focusing on urban growth, climate resilience, and improved neighbourhood accessibility,” said Kim Petrin, Deputy City Manager.
The District Policy will guide how Edmonton’s communities evolve over time, while the recently approved Zoning Bylaw dictates what can be developed on specific plots of land.
The city will begin implementing the policy and plans immediately, with a digital map outlining district boundaries now available online.
Well, well, well..another conspiracy theory becoming reality?? What does a "climate-resilient city" actually mean? Be prepared to remain in your open-air prisons (districts), not allowed to drive your fossil fueled vehicle, require a pass to leave your district? Get the hell out while you can!
Well if the people living there haven't figured out what was just done to them, they sure will shortly when they go to leave their area and they can't.
