Our Planning & Design teams learned all about middle housing @mddl.co’s launch event last week. What is it? Why is it important?
Middle housing (think townhomes & duplexes) offers... more options for Calgarians, but let’s chat about it honestly!
Here are some of our teams’ key takeaways:
🏘 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬, 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐬: Let’s break down stereotypes & see how middle housing benefits everyone.
🏘 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲’𝐬 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: The City is reviewing zoning regulations to allow for more middle housing options. This is your chance to share your perspective and help shape the future of Calgary’s neighborhoods.
🏘 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Clear and accessible information is crucial. Let’s make sure residents have the facts they need.
🏘 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Whether it’s mature communities or new mixed-use centers, it’s vital to find solutions that respect existing character while paving the way for new possibilities.
𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! Share your thoughts and ideas – because when it comes to building Calgary’s future, we’re all in this together.

It’s Earth Day, but shouldn’t EVERY day be Earth Day? 🌎 At B&A, we’re all about keeping it green. Our downtown Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver offices are centrally located and perfect... for walkable commutes, cycling paths, and easy access to public transit (because who wants to deal with parking?).
Environmental stewardship is at the core of our planning and design philosophy. Our Sustainability & Environment services help clients and developers build greener by seamlessly integrating nature in built environments for a healthier planet and thriving communities.
When we’re not in the office, you’ll find us exploring the awesome outdoors – from local parks to mountain adventures!
Together, we can create a sustainable future for generations to come. Learn more about our Sustainability & Environmental services through the link in our story. #EarthDay #Sustainability #EnvironmentalStewardship #YVR #YEG #YYC

Housing affordability is a top concern for Calgarians and Albertans alike.
Our Urban Planning & Urban Design teams recently attended @ulialberta’s event on ‘Alberta’s Escalating Housing... Crisis’ @platformcalgary. We heard from a diverse panel of industry experts including Dr. Teresa Goldstein, Ann-Marie Lurie, Jolene Livingston, Trent Edwards, and Alkarim Devani as we explored how we can begin to address the lack of housing availability in Alberta.
We dove deep into affordability, long-term planning, and innovative design solutions — all aimed at creating a future where everyone has access to a safe and secure place to call home.
