Zoning reform has passed in Edmonton! Kudos to staff and the many others who made this possible. The Zoning Bylaw Renewal engaged many Edmontonians including our SURP community as a research and studio project and focus of faculty discussion and support

We are so grateful for positive partnerships we enjoy with UDI-Edmonton Metro and the practicing planning, design and development community. Today was another fantastic opportunity for our students to understand how ideas translate into communities for people.

Edmonton has a fantastic design scene, including architecture and urbanism... check out Edmonton Design Week 2023 (incl. events with SURP people)!

We are so fortunate to be in a city where professionals are eager to give back. Fantastic night for an APPI meet and greet connecting students and practitioners (including a growing number of alumni!)

The Bruntletts (Melissa & Chris Bruntlett) are inspiring catalysts helping cities move to a happier multimodal future. We are proud to partner with our local councillor Michael Janz to bring Chris to Edmonton.

The new year is off to an exciting start. Welcome back to all new and returning students!

Very happy to announce a new Tenure Track opportunity with our faculty as part of the Ualberta Black academic excellence cohort hire.

If you tuned into the Land Use Draft meeting this morning at 9:30 am today and are still listening now, you might want to consider a career in planning. The UAlberta School of Urban and Regional Planning offers such a degree at both a masters and undergrad level. Feel free to reach out to me to learn more!
