Edmonton is a city in transition. As we look to the future, we must chart a new course for the way we grow and the way we move. In 2009, new integrated land use and transportation strategic plans will be reviewed by Edmonton City Council to guide the city's development into the future. The Municipal Development Plan, titled 'The Way We Grow', will guide Edmonton's growth and development for the next 10 years. The Transportation Master Plan, titled 'The Way We Move', establishes a framework for how the City will address its future transportation needs. Through these plans, the City will integrate land-use planning and transportation decisions to create a more compact and efficient urban form. These plans encourage development around a network of high speed transit corridors, integrated with mixed land uses of increasing density to create areas of Transit Oriented Development (TOD). Once approved, the Plans will be implemented through more details plans, guidelines, programs and policies. Performance measures will also be developed to measure the progress of these plans. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E217481.
