Which of the following comes closest to how you would guide infill development?
Context:
Edmonton's new zoning bylaw took force in 2024, permitting many new infill builds. Housing starts in June 2025 were up 82% compared with 2024. Though housing has surged, sprawl continues. In 2025, as the election campaigns kicked off, infill made headlines. A proposed moratorium and a proposal to limit the size of mid-block buildings both failed, though council did vote to make some minor adjustments to infill regulations. Recent surveys found that only 14% of respondents see infill as a top concern.
