after three years of planning City
0:01
Administration is presenting its Vision
0:03
to accommodate a population of 2 million
0:06
people through 15minute cities three
0:09
days of public hearings on the plan
0:10
began at City Hall this morning shalan
0:12
skolsky has more the 15 new District
0:15
plans and corresponding bylaws will
0:17
replace 54 existing planning documents
0:20
dating back to the 1980s Administration
0:23
says the goal is to accommodate 600,000
0:25
new residents in redeveloped areas with
0:27
50% of all new home units added through
0:30
infill the plan also calls for half of
0:32
all Future travel to be done by transit
0:35
and for residents to access all their
0:36
daily needs within 15 minutes not
0:39
everyone supports the plan my
0:41
understanding is that this means I will
0:43
need to stay within my district to meet
0:45
all my needs so that the city can meet
0:48
its climate plan objectives I don't
0:50
think Edmonton edmontonians can afford
0:53
to be part of a renovation experiment of
0:55
this size so quickly I think
0:57
unfortunately a lot of the district plan
0:59
in part particular have been derailed by
1:01
15 minute cities uh conspiracy theories
1:04
uh you know World economic forums Etc um
1:07
at the end of the day this is about land
