What is R-CG? Upzoning and Calgary's Affordable Housing Plan

Описание: What is R-CG zoning in Calgary? Calgary is considering a plan to increase the base residential zone in the city as part of the affordable housing plan, which has been described as “blanket upzoning”. R-CG would allow the construction of multiplexes and row houses by default anywhere in the city of Calgary. What impact will this have on housing affordability, parking, traffic, utilities, infrastructure and neighbourhood character?

All these questions and more are answered on today’s Millennial Moron Podcast, where I’m joined by Calgary Ward 8 Councillor Courtney Walcott, Director of City and Regional Planning Josh White, and Co-Founder of More Neighbours Calgary Kathryn Davies.
