The proposed growth management strategy and policies contained in the Calgary Metropolitan Plan (CMP) of the Calgary Regional Partnership (CRP) have focused on the need to plan for a metropolitan region that is expected to grow to a size of approximately 2.8 million people by 2070 (from a base of approximately 1.2 million residents today) and accommodate an additional 800,000 jobs over the same period. Plans for efficient and costeffective infrastructure are integrated into the CMP’s proposed regional settlement pattern, which promotes intensification of existing development and directs new development to areas that can be supported by the efficient delivery of water, wastewater and transit systems. There are a number of specific CMP policies supporting the regional transit system and its strong integration with land use, which are outlined in the report.Calgary Regional Partnershi
