Business Improvement Areas

Calgary's Business Improvement Areas (BIA; formerly Business Revitalization Zones or BRZ) are business districts established by businesses within an area to jointly raise and administer funds for various projects and promotional activities within that zone throughout the year.^[18] BIAs in Calgary are established for one or more of the following purposes: "improving, beautifying and maintaining property" in the BIA; "developing, improving and maintaining public parking;" and/or promoting the BIA as a business or shopping area.^[19]

The BRZ program in Calgary was established in 1983 to allow certain commercial areas of the city to administer and promote themselves internally. Many of the zones that emerged from this have since acquired a virtual "neighbourhood" status by the people of Calgary. (None of these zones are officially designated as neighbourhoods unto themselves, however.)

These are the 15 Business Improvement Areas of Calgary as of 2022^[update]:^[19]

17th Ave Retail & Entertainment District
4th Street South West BIA (located mostly within Mission)
Beltline BIA
Bridgeland BIA
Calgary Downtown Association
Chinatown BIA
Crescent Heights Village BIA
Greenview Industrial BIA (formerly HIPville BIA)
Inglewood
International Avenue
Kensington BIA^[20]
Mainstreet Bowness BIA
Marda Loop BIA
Montgomery on the Bow BIA
Victoria Park BIA

Planning Areas

The City of Calgary has divided the city into 42 local planning areas to facilitate more comprehensive urban development.^[21] These areas group multiple communities together based on shared amenities, geographic features, and common planning needs.

Boundaries are primarily determined by major roads (e.g., Crowchild Trail, Deerfoot Trail) and geographic features (rivers, large parks). This approach aims to create stronger community linkages, address common issues, and enable more holistic growth planning.

Known Planning Areas

Chinook Communities
East Calgary International Avenue (formerly Greater Forest Lawn Communities^[22])
Heritage Communities
North Hill Communities
Riley Communities
South Shaganappi
West Elbow Communities
Westbrook Communities

Industrial areas

Most industrial areas are located between Deerfoot Trail and 36 Street East in the northern half of the city; between Macleod Trail, Deerfoot Trail and Glenmore Trail in the south and east of Barlow Trail in the southeast.^[23]
