BETTER INFILL
The Character and Soul of Our City
The Coalition for Better Infill is a network of citizens from across Edmonton who are deeply concerned about the city’s de-regulation of the infill development industry.
Our supporters include planners, architects, and engineers; environmentalists and builders; community organizers, entrepreneurs, seniors and young families.
Better Infill is run by volunteers and funded by donations.

Share this information widely! It’s powerful.
Changes to bylaws give huge flexibility to infill developers and take away most opportunities for you to appeal projects, even on your own block.
This means your new district plan could allow for a mid-rise or high-rise building to be built next door.
Imagine the uncertainty of not knowing what could be built beside you.
