Centre City

The area collectively known as the Centre City comprises Downtown (including the Downtown West End and Downtown East Village) and the adjacent neighbourhoods of Eau Claire, Chinatown, and the Beltline (including Connaught and Victoria Park).[2]

Within Centre City, those neighbourhoods below that have an area redevelopment plan (ARP) in effect[3] are indicated with "ARP" in parentheses.

Downtown

Downtown Calgary is bordered by 10th Street W. on the west, 3rd Avenue S. and the Bow River on the north, the Elbow River on the east and the CPR mainline tracks on the south.

The remaining Centre City neighbourhoods are predominately residential and mixed-use. These areas are often considered to be an extension of downtown. Other Centre City neighbourhoods include:

  • Beltline - The Beltline is physically separated from downtown proper by the CPR mainline tracks, and is the densest and most populous neighbourhood in Calgary. It comprises the former neighbourhoods of Connaught on the west and Victoria Park on the east.
  • Chinatown (ARP)
  • Eau Claire

Inner city

The inner city includes Downtown Calgary and the adjoining communities, and overlays roughly the city limits before 1961. It is delimited by Sarcee Trail to the west; Glenmore Reservoir and Glenmore Trail to the south; Bow River and Deerfoot Trail to the east; and Bow River and 32 Avenue to the north.[5]

The inner city includes the following neighbourhoods (by city quadrant):

Business revitalization zones

The business revitalization zone (BRZ) program was established in 1983 to allow certain commercial areas of the city to administer and promote themselves internally. Many of the zones (or districts) that emerged from this have since acquired a virtual "neighbourhood" status by the people of Calgary. Most zones now offer a unique street shopping environment (many have restaurants and nightlife too) and have become popular destinations for both Calgarians and visitors to the city. None of these zones are officially designated as neighbourhoods unto themselves however. The City of Edmonton also uses BRZs, and other cities have equivalent systems such as Business improvement districts.

Industrial areas

Most industrial areas are located between Deerfoot Trail and 36 Street E 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 south-east.

The following industrial and commercial areas are established in Calgary: Alyth/Bonny Brook · Burns Industrial · Calgary International Airport · Deerfoot Business Centre (commercial) · Eastfield · Foothills · Forest Lawn Industrial · Franklin · Fairview Industrial · Glendeer Business Park · Great Plains · Greenview Industrial Park · Golden Triangle · Harvest Hills Business Park · Highfield · Horizon · McCall · Meridian · Mayland · Manchester Industrial · North Airways · Ogden Shops · Pegasus · South Airways · Shepard Industrial · Skyline · Saddle Ridge Industrial · Starfield · Sunridge (commercial) · Valleyfield · Westwinds.
