This is a list of neighbourhoods in Calgary, Alberta.

As of 2016, Calgary has 197 neighbourhoods, which are referred to as "communities" by the municipal government,[1] and 42 industrial areas.[2] A further 15 communities were included in the civic censuses from 2015 to 2019,[3] bringing the total to 212. Calgary Open Data also confirms six more communities yet to be developed (Alpine Park, Ambleton, Glacier Ridge, Lewisburg, TwinHills, and Symons Valley Ranch).[4]

Centre City

[edit]

The area collectively known as the Centre City comprises Downtown (including the Downtown West End and Downtown East Village) and the adjacent neighbourhoods of Eau Claire, Chinatown, and the Beltline (including Connaught and Victoria Park).[5][6]

Within Centre City, those neighbourhoods below that have an area redevelopment plan (ARP) in effect[7] are indicated with "ARP" in parentheses.

Business Improvement Areas

[edit]

Calgary's Business Improvement Areas (BIA; formerly Business Revitalization Zones or BRZ) are business districts established by businesses within an area to jointly raise and administer funds for various projects and promotional activities within that zone throughout the year.[18] BIAs in Calgary are established for one or more of the following purposes: "improving, beautifying and maintaining property" in the BIA; "developing, improving and maintaining public parking;" and/or promoting the BIA as a business or shopping area.[19]

The BRZ program in Calgary was established in 1983 to allow certain commercial areas of the city to administer and promote themselves internally. Many of the zones that emerged from this have since acquired a virtual "neighbourhood" status by the people of Calgary. (None of these zones are officially designated as neighbourhoods unto themselves, however.)

These are the 15 Business Improvement Areas of Calgary as of 2022:[19]

Planning Areas

[edit]

The City of Calgary has divided the city into 42 local planning areas to facilitate more comprehensive urban development.[21] These areas group multiple communities together based on shared amenities, geographic features, and common planning needs.

Boundaries are primarily determined by major roads (e.g., Crowchild Trail, Deerfoot Trail) and geographic features (rivers, large parks). This approach aims to create stronger community linkages, address common issues, and enable more holistic growth planning.

Known Planning Areas

[edit]
  • Chinook Communities
  • East Calgary International Avenue (formerly Greater Forest Lawn Communities[22])
  • Heritage Communities
  • North Hill Communities
  • Riley Communities
  • South Shaganappi
  • West Elbow Communities
  • Westbrook Communities

Industrial areas

[edit]

Most industrial areas are located between Deerfoot Trail and 36 Street East in the northern half of the city; between Macleod Trail, Deerfoot Trail and Glenmore Trail in the south and east of Barlow Trail in the southeast.[23]
