Calgary's Conundrum

An ambitious plan to revitalize a downtown neighbourhood looks like good urban planning. But will it further aggravate Calgary's growing poverty problem?

"Western Canada’s booming business capital is often denigrated as either a hick town or a soulless, cultureless void—misconceptions that are no doubt fed by the city’s monotonous sprawl and its penchant for tawdry Western gimmicks. But in reality Calgary is a young, vibrant city, fuelled by a maverick energy and an abundance of wealth."
