If you live in the Capital region, there are things you want to see as part of the national plan. Our NCC planners take these local needs into account:
Livability
You care about quality of life. The "healthy community" is a prime consideration.
Partnerships for Planning
You want to be heard. Planners from different parts of the picture — federal, provincial and municipal — should work together to create plans that mesh.
Efficiency
You care about results. Planners have to make good and timely use of government investments in the Capital.
Resource Conservation
You’re thinking of the environment. The natural world needs our protection.
Economy
You care about jobs and prosperity. Federal lands and buildings should be developed in a way that supports the economy.
Heart
You look toward the centre. The heart of economic, cultural and political life should lie in the core area of the Capital region.
Transportation and Communication
You want to get around. Affordable, accessible and integrated transportation and communications are essential.
