We are Strong Towns Calgary, and we believe in a bottom-up approach to urbanism, promoting human dignity in our communities through achievable, citizen-led action.We serve as a pluralistic platform for civic communication, empowering advocacy and innovation toward stronger communities, challenging our city's problems and structures behind them.We imagine Calgary as a compassionate, vibrant, interconnected urban landscape where every community flourishes—grounded in sustainable practices, fiscal responsibility, and a spirit of inclusive stewardship.
