Through a series of public workshops and planning events, the Greater Downtown Action Plan was updated. The vision for the future of Red Deer’s downtown is that it will be a vibrant, diverse urban centre. Development over the next 10-20 years will be led by the emergence of three distinct but complementary districts:

Historic Downtown – a continuously reinvigorated office and retail centre featuring major government buildings, the city’s historic character, and new mixed-use residential and commercial developments;

Riverlands – a special area with an emphasis on the culture of Red Deer – a district that fosters formal and informal gatherings for our community and visitors; and

Railyards – the new residential lifeblood for Greater Downtown, where high density urban living will create a new energy in the city’s centre.
