This Canadian City is Ditching Red Tape for Rowhouses
Building a modest rowhouse shouldn’t take years—but in most North American cities, it often does. Calgary just changed that. Starting this fall, builders in new neighborhoods can skip an entire layer of red tape if their plans already meet zoning rules. It’s not a flashy move, but it’s a powerful one: cutting permitting time, reducing costs, and boosting much-needed “missing middle” housing. In a market desperate for momentum, Calgary’s quiet reform might be the clearest blueprint for progress seen all year.
