2014 Infill Action Plan (Draft) City of Edmonton
Keeping our city and our established neighbourhoods thriving into the future. Providing diverse housing options for our residents. Using our resources wisely.
This is what residential infill in Edmonton is all about. People, homes, and our evolving communities.
More and more people are calling Edmonton home. By 2024 we will have a population of over one million. One million people and thousands of households with different housing preferences and needs: young and old, big and small, new Edmontonians and residents who have lived their whole lives in our city. Supporting residential infill in established neighbourhoods is an important way to help everyone find the right homes in the right communities.
Infill also helps our established neighbourhoods. Each of them has changed over time and will continue to evolve into the future. New homes, different types of housing and new residents will help ensure their ongoing vitality.

Not Just A Roof Over Our Heads
Exploring the state of rental housing in Edmonton one Year later.
Executive Summary
The Edmonton Social Planning Council (ESPC) conducted a survey of renters in the Edmonton area from April
16 to May 31, 2008. The survey was created as a follow up to the Renters’ Listening Forums held in May 2007
in response to the rental housing crisis at the time. The intention of the Edmonton Renters’ Survey was to
explore how the rental housing situation has changed over the past year. A diverse group of 727 renters
responded to the survey; their responses provided detailed insights, both quantitative and qualitative, into the
eight questions derived from some of the key issues identified at the 2007 forums.
